Abstract

The study of the quality of lighting and visual comfort is conditioned to the health and well-being of those who use and enjoy the built spaces. Light is important to the conceptual design of an environment; therefore, many researchers have searched for ways to identify and evaluate visual comfort through different research instruments. One of the most recurrent, the questionnaire, is an instrument of data collection in order to evaluate the preferences and characteristics of a sample.  In this context, the objective of this study was to identify, detail and provide greater understanding about the questionnaires that evaluate visual comfort, through a systematic literature review. It was selected a set of seventeen questionnaires and, thus, is intended to analyze the questionnaires under the following aspects: structure; the objective of the research; evaluated environment and main aspects and characteristics of lighting. It was possible to observe that during the systematic review of the literature, most of the researchers found, that deal with the measurement of visual comfort, making it for office environments. In addition, It was found that the aspects preferences and satisfaction; and glare and light distribution are the characteristics more recurring in the questionnaires analyzed. This work contributes to developing research studies that require a questionnaire as part of their evaluation method.
