Glare

Post by C MAC »

Hi,

When you refer to all the Good Practice Guide (CIBSE, BSRIA etc etc) we all know that North facing roof lights and glazing in general should not pose much of a glare problem in mid summer. However more often than not I my radiance sims always find glare on north facing glazing but we all know that in reality it doesn't exist. Has anyone found this ?

I am detecting glare on North facing rooflights (North Lights) which are 6m above the FFL. Should this be ignored as typically its out of the field of vision. I would be interested in hearing our users feedback / experience.
