12.1.1.1-9 Windows
If windows are present in the control room, the following conditions should be observed:
- Control room operators using visual displays should not be facing windows unless these windows are a primary information source.
- The location of control workstations where windows are behind the operator should be avoided since this may produce reflections on the operator’s display screen.
- If control room operators do have to face windows while using visual display terminals, the differences in luminance should not lead to glare.
- Windows that are located on the left and right side of the workstation should have a minimum distance of 3 m (118 in.) to the workstation.
- Control room windows should have user-operable blinds. 20 11064-3
