<p>Illumination represents one of the main factors that affect energy consumption on a building, this consumption is even more on an office building. This study presents quantitative and qualitative data of the south faÃ§ade of an open-plan office in Panama of a building that has a system to regulate internal light. To accomplish this, several measurements of illuminance in three different sceneries: evaluating daylight factor, measuring illuminance levels (lx) and luminance levels with usersâ€™ perception.
