EN 17037 §4.4 — Protection from glare

Part of EN 17037:2018. See that page for legal status.

Requirement

Metric: Daylight Glare Probability (DGP), evaluated over occupied hours. Applies to spaces with vertical or inclined daylight openings and to occupants who cannot freely choose their position or viewing direction (e.g. reading, writing, or working at a display).

LevelDGP not exceeded
Minimum0.45
Medium0.40
High0.35

for no more than 5 % of the space's occupation time.

Calculation setup

Verified either with a simplified method rating shading devices, or a full annual DGP calculation from climate data — see Annex E of the standard for both methods. Not based on the daylight provision reference plane or grid.

How LUX handles it

Status: 🔜 Planned, not yet supported in LUX Live v0.3.0. Glare protection is not currently computed by LUX.
