  3.3 Guidance on the Visual Properties of Detectable Warnings

  provides a minimum luminance contrast of 60 percent could be seen from a distance of 2.44 m (8 ft) by approximately 92 percent of the pedestrians with visual impairments in our sample under daylight...

  Eunice Noell-Waggoner, IES, LC. Lighting Issues

  Again, the glare coming in from the daylight, highly polished floor, the light just on one side bouncing up. It isn’t being distributed very much down the wall....

  Differences in Perspectives between Designers/Photographers and Visually Impaired Occupants

  So design for daylight and non-glare spaces that are not uncomfortable to be in, is that just an issue for people who have eyesight loss? It’s actually a universal issue....

  Mary Ann Hay, IALD, LEED™ AP. Artificial Lighting

  The prime objective with this project was [to light the space] so that you do not feel like you’re below grade, that you get some sense of brightness; not really emulating daylight but [...

  3.2 Study Limitations and Other Issues

  Nighttime illumination (from artificial sources) will have different spectral properties than daylight illumination and may result in less visual contrast between detectable warning surfaces...

  Issue 13: How can energy codes and LEED™ “Points” be made compatible with lighting design criteria that accommodate low vision persons?

  words, you should be given latitude of providing appropriate levels of light if they’re controlled appropriately, so that you’re really controlling the consumption [by] taking advantage of daylight...
