Abstract

Light is one of the important aspects for a comfortable office environment. Too often high quality lighting is not achieved. Lighting quality can be defined by different aspects that are relevant such as the quantity, distribution, glare, spectral power distribution, daylight, directionality, and dynamics of light. The luminance distribution seems to be a suitable measure to achieve high quality lighting. The luminance distribution can be measured, with a practical accuracy, by commercially available cameras and fisheye lenses. All these aspects spectral power distribution can be measured using a camera-based luminance distribution measurement device. So, a luminance distribution measurement device is an excellent tool to measure or indicate lighting quality. It can be used to achieve a better understanding of lighting quality and potentially it can be implemented in automated building control systems.
