Occupants’ visual comfort is an important consideration in sustainable building design. To help create visually comfortable environments, building designers need an easy-to-use method to predict visual discomfort through simulations. This paper aims to present a proof-of-concept predictive method that analyses the contrast ratios of multi-region luminance-based images. Grasshopper and Radiance were used to develop an analysis algorithm that examines per-pixel luminance values of a high-resolution, 180-degree fisheye High Dynamic Range image (HDRi) and represents the luminance information at different (lower) resolutions relative to the average luminance value of the task. The proposed framework succeeded in reducing the complexity of the da...
