A Bayesian method of evaluating discomfort due to glare: the effect of order bias from a large glare source (2018)
Journal Article
Kent, M., Cheung, T., Altomonte, S., Schiavon, S., & Lipczyńska, A. (2018). A Bayesian method of evaluating discomfort due to glare: the effect of order bias from a large glare source. Building and Environment, 146, 258-267. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.10.005

Replicating scientific findings is a fundamental aspect of research. However, in studies of discomfort due to glare, it is difficult to make comparisons between the results of different experiments since the statistical tests usually reported do not...

An experimental study on the effect of visual tasks on discomfort due to peripheral glare (2018)
Journal Article
Kent, M. G., Fotios, S., & Altomonte, S. (2019). An experimental study on the effect of visual tasks on discomfort due to peripheral glare. LEUKOS, 15(1), 17-28. https://doi.org/10.1080/15502724.2018.1489282

This article concerns discomfort due to sources of glare in the peripheral visual field. A visual task is needed to maintain foveal fixation at a known location and in past studies the tasks have ranged from a simple fixation mark to a task requiring...

Sensitivity analysis for energy modelling based on daylight simulations (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Abdelwahab, S., Rutherford, P., Kent, M. G., & Altomonte, S. (2018). Sensitivity analysis for energy modelling based on daylight simulations. In International Conference for Sustainable Design of the Built Environment: SDBE 2018: Proceedings. , (49-60)

Simulation techniques for modelling the lighting and energy performance of buildings are becoming widely available. Previous research by the authors found the outcomes of lighting simulation to be substantively influenced by individual settings of va...

Order effects when using Hopkinson’s multiple criterion scale of discomfort due to glare (2018)
Journal Article
Kent, M. G., Fotios, S., & Altomonte, S. (2018). Order effects when using Hopkinson’s multiple criterion scale of discomfort due to glare. Building and Environment, 136, 54-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.03.022

Hopkinson’s multiple criterion scale is widely used to investigate the subjective degree of discomfort due to glare. Using an adjustment procedure, glare source luminance is adjusted to reveal four levels of discomfort, typically: just imperceptible,...
