Proceedings of: Workshop on Improving Building Design for Persons with Low Vision

Open Discussion (Panel 3)

(Note: Transcripts for this Panel were not available. These edited Proceedings are based on notes by JEW and TOS)

Issue 5: Can a new chapter be written with a structure for PBS P100 that is performance based and does not disaggregate lighting design by professional disciplines (i.e., integrates subject matter in Chapters 2, 3, 5, and 6)?

Comments by [Participants]: Criteria should be based on measurable psychosocial and psychophysiological metrics (i.e., parameters and values).

Color separation in signal lighting is a critical criterion.

Contrast and color contrast may have priority of illuminance.

Prescriptive and performance subsections should be considered.

Issue 6: Is there a metric for the ratio of scotopic/photopic interactions?

Question by [Participant]: Are glare and contrast parameters synonymous for design and optometric use? (This question may lead to a major gap in scientific information.)
