A REVIEW OF VARIOUS STANDARDS FOR VIEW QUALITY OF WINDOWS OF OFFICE BUILDINGS

Abstract

Windows in the building envelope act as an interface that communicates information between outdoor and indoor environments. View out through windows has an integral role in transmitting outdoor environmental information to people indoors and supporting their satisfaction and well-being. This paper reviews research results that have formed the basis for the current criteria for assessing the quality of the view out. It is rated primarily by the view width, the outside distance of the view and the number of view layers to be seen. The literature review provided a new idea of analyzing the view out quantitatively as visual information.
