About this app
Get Luminance has been developed from research and provides an empirical basis for calculating luminance. Get Luminance measures what is ‘seen’ by a photograph and reflects the conditions experienced by users. It measures luminance in the prevailing light, (rather than the pure colour with a controlled light source - the basis of most colorimeters). The aim is to:
• Provide and maintain good luminance contrast to create environments that are easier and safer to use by everyone.
• Provide a cost effective and easy-to-use tool.
• Facilitate assessing compliance in buildings and the public realm.
• Assist designers identify compliant designs during the design process.
• Support maintenance and asset management of existing assets.
• Demystify luminance contrast and make it a mainstream concern.
Get Luminance includes the 4 main calculation methods used worldwide.
Who should use this App?
Anyone concerned with safety and amenity in the built environment, such as building inspectors/certifiers/building control, access consultants, architects, designers, contractors, facilities managers, asset managers, disability groups, clients (building owners/tenants/employers etc), you and me.
