Abstracts
Four innovative glazing systems are assessed in terms of their potential to affect glare and daylight uniformity, as well as their effect on horizontal illuminance. The ability to control glare has energy as well as visual consequences and the systems are shown to be more effective than some types of conventional system. Although the innovative systems reduce average horizontal illuminance, this energy drawback can be offset by the energy benefits of improved uniformity.
