Abstract

This article presents a full-scale survey of the impact of colored/neutral glazing systems on occupants' visual and non-visual functions, as well as working performance in a daylit office in Beijing, China. Five glazing systems were investigated during a heating season from 17 November 2016 to 11 January 2017. Lighting measurements and subjective assessments were conducted to study the relationship between lighting conditions, glazing types, and visual and non-visual performances. Several key findings were achieved as follows: 1) According to visual performances, the blue glazing could be the best solution while the bronze glazing tends to be less acceptable; both grey and green glazing systems did not show significant differences fro m the clear glazing. 2) No clear divergences of non-visual performances can be found between various colored/neutral glazing systems. 3) The c ircadian light (CL) has an obvious link to occupants' non-visual performances. 4) Pa rtic ipants working performance in a short-term GONOGO test will become worse when the blue glazing system is applied.
