Thank you for participating in the LuminArch session. Please take a few moments to complete this survey about your experience and any changes in your understanding of daylight metrics. Your responses will help improve the game’s educational quality and user experience.

Please answer the following questions based on your current understanding after playing LuminArch.

Familiarity with common daylight metrics

Please rate your familiarity with a range of common daylight metrics on a scale. Please select the number that best reflects your opinion, where 1 means “Not Familiar ar All” and 5 means “Extremely Familiar.” Use intermediate points if your view falls between these extremes.

Multiple-Choice Questions

Please answer the following questions.

Which statement best describes Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA)? *

The percentage of occupied hours when indoor daylight exceeds a specified illuminance threshold.

A measure of electric lighting consumption in a building.

The maximum lux value at the center of a space over a 24-hour period.

The ratio between indoor and outdoor illuminance under a uniform sky.

ASE is often used to gauge the potential for excessive direct sunlight in a space. Which of the following statements is true about ASE? *

ASE specifically measures the uniformity of light distribution across a floor plane.

A high ASE value suggests a significant portion of the space experiences direct sunlight for too many hours.

ASE is unrelated to glare or occupant discomfort.

ASE only applies to nighttime illumination from artificial sources.

Daylight uniformity typically refers to the ratio of minimum illuminance to average (or maximum) illuminance on a given plane. Which statement best describes the goal of achieving higher daylight uniformity? *

High uniformity ensures minimal glare and identical lux levels across every surface at all times.

High uniformity indicates that light levels are more evenly distributed, reducing strong contrast between bright and dark areas.

Uniformity is only relevant in nighttime lighting conditions.

Uniformity is unrelated to occupant comfort and visual performance.

Which design strategy is most effective for lowering ASE while maintaining adequate daylight in a space? *

Eliminating windows on all facades.

Using exterior shading devices or well-placed overhangs.

Increasing window-to-wall ratio without shading.

Painting interior walls with dark colors to absorb light.

Short-Answer Questions

Please answer in 1–2 sentences to the following questions.

How you would balance sDA and ASE in a design to ensure good daylight provision without excessive direct sunlight. *

Give one reason why daylight uniformity is important for occupant comfort, and one strategy to improve uniformity in a large open office. *
