Measurement Weather-independent investigation of daylight conditions in interior spaces, precisely controllable interaction between artificial and natural light for studies on user behavior and performance (e.g. at computer workstations), focused studies of light management systems such as daylight-responsive light control, specific tests of sun and glare protection systems under controlled conditions, studies on novel approaches such as artificial windows
Measurement objects Test group studies, computer workstations, light management systems, sun and glare protection systems, novel approaches such as artificial windows
