VALUTAZIONE DELL'INTERAZIONE TRA LUCE NATURALE E OUTDOOR VIEW NELL’EDILIZIA UNIVERSITARIA: UN CASO STUDIO - EVALUATION OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN DAYLIGHT AND OUTDOOR VIEW IN UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS: A CASE STUDY

People spend most of their lives indoors and providing them a good view to outside can be an important strategy to improve their indoor comfort. This study examines the relationship, still unclear, between outdoor view and daylight through the analysis of building 1C of Universitat Politecnica de València as a case study, following the UNI EN 17037 standard. The analysis compares the illuminance and glare levels with the view quality, focusing on the possible correlation between these aspects. The case study analysis investigates first the comfort condition of the actual building, later compared to two possible future scenarios: the addition of internal roller blinds and the construction of a new building in front of the case study one. The findings reveal an inverse relationship between outdoor view quality and daylight availability: higher view quality often coincides with disturbing glare and excessive illuminance, reducing visual comfort despite better views. Additionally, the standard does not consider the impact of blinds or other shading devices, which can significantly alter the results. Finally, some differences between the perceived view and the calculated quality of it have been encountered, due to some calculation limitations of the standard.
