presence of discomfort glare due to delighting. Factors affecting the glare
index include the size and relative position of fenestration, sky luminance, and
interior luminance. Most widely used in Europe, the glare index is similar to
the index of sensation and the discomfort glare rating, which are used in North
America for electric lighting
applications.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P></SPAN></DIV>
