[Radiance-general] Desktop radiance Glare Analysis: Pcond

[Sim Swee Ling Annie]

Hi all,

I was trying to run glare analysis via Desktop Radiance for glazing with 2 
different VLT:

a) VLT = 30
b) VLT = 60

The type used for these glazing are kept as default --> "glass".

1) For the first analysis, I have adjusted the exposure for both images in 
order to reflect more accurate visual view showing the differences between 
clear and darker glass.

The glare index via UGR shows:

a) VLT 30 = 36
b) VLT 60 = 44

2) For the second analysis, on top adjusting the exposure, I have also 
used "pcond -h" on the images.

The glare index via UGR shows:

a) VLT 30 = 0
b) VLT 60 = 0

Looking at the comparison of the results above, I am not sure whether 
"pcond -h" should be used prior to glare analysis. Should the glare 
analysis be done on raw images without "pcond -h"? ......although it was 
stated that "pcond -h" will create a view that mimic human responses.

Would really appreciate any sharing or help on this!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Ann
