Description
Résumé:Lighting affects people’s behavior and their impression of the environment, yet very little has been studied regarding the visual amenity of indoor spaces protected by shading systems (Ruck et al., 2000). The present study analyzes three aspects related to this concept – color, outside view, appearance – in indoor spaces with windows shaded with solar films and curtains. Its purpose is justified by the hypothesis that the correct implementation of shading systems (solar control films, venetian blinds, louvers, curtains) should add the study of visual amenity to the current usability analysis (visibility and visual comfort). From the standpoint of visual amenity, the results show the need to implement shading strategies according to bioclimatic principles of façade orientation and adaptation to regional climate conditions, through daylight dynamic studies.Keywords: daylight, shading systems, visual amenity, appearance, outside view, correlated color temperature.
