Abstract

evaluation of daylighting in indoor spaces, ABNT NBR 15.215-3:2024 proposes assessing the quality of lighting in indoor spaces based on new parameters, including the phenomenon of glare. Glare caused by daylight can affect the performance of users in educational spaces. This study aimed to examine the occurrence of daylight glare in a classroom at the Federal University of Minas Gerais using computer simulation with the ClimateStudio plug-in for Rhinoceros software based on methodologies proposed in the Brazilian standard along with questionnaires. Users' perception indicated that the level of glare might be higher than predicted by the simulations. It was concluded that control devices are essential to mitigate discomfort caused by glare in daylit spaces.
