Visual comfort probability (VCP), also known as Guth Visual Comfort Probability, is a metric used to rate lighting scenes. It is defined as the percentage of people that will find a certain scene (viewpoint and direction) comfortable with regard to visual glare.[1] [2] It was defined by Sylvester A. Guth in 1966.[3]
