Applicability of the criteria for each glare indices is yet to be determined, considering various demographic and cultural differences and preferences. However, most studies on discomfort glare from daylight were conducted in regions dominated with Caucasian population. This research aims to determine the appropriate criteria for discomfort glare in Indonesia, using high dynamic range (HDR) imaging technique and post-occupancy evaluation. The objectives are to find correlations between various physical variables and glare indices and to obtain the comfort criteria for daylighting glare in Indonesia. Assessment was conducted in the reading hall of the Main Library Building of Institut Teknologi Bandung. Post-occupancy evaluation was conducted with 99 participants. None of the proposed metrics have a high correlation with the mean subjective score; the largest squared correlation coefficients are given by Evalglare-defined mean source luminance (Ls,Evalglare) and daylight glare probability (DGP). The most significant differences between mean values under comfort and discomfort scenes are also given by those two metrics. The following values are suggested as borders between imperceptible and perceptible glare perception: Ls,Evalglare = 1331–1347 cd/m2, DGP = 0.21; between perceptible and disturbing: Ls,Evalglare = 1867–1874 cd/m2, DGP = 0.22; and between disturbing and intolerable: Ls,Evalglare = 2760–3121 cd/m2, DGP = 0.24–0.26.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cultural difference,Daylight glare probabilities,Discomfort glare,High dynamic range images,Physical variables,Post occupancy evaluation,Squared correlation coefficients,Visual comfort[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Daylighting,Discomfort glare,High dynamic range image,Post occupancy evaluation,Visual comfort[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was sponsored by the Asahi Glass Foundation 2015?2016 Overseas Research Grant.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2017.04.010[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
