Get Luminance

Features Get Luminance

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?
