Abstract
Vertical windows are the most common and simplest method to introduce daylight to interior spaces of office buildings, while also providing a view and connection to the outside. However,it is also well known that high contrast between windows and their surrounding walls can cause visual discomfort, which can result in attempts by occupants to alleviate the problem through switching on lights and/or closing blinds. This paper focuses on improving window appearance by reducing high contrast with the aim of reducing occupants’ intention to intervene in the lighting conditions.
