The accurate assessment of visual comfort in indoor spaces is crucial for creating environments that enhance occupant well-being, productivity, and overall satisfaction. This paper presents a groundbreaking contribution to the field of visual comfort assessment in occupied buildings, addressing the existing research gap in methods for evaluating visual comfort once a building is in use while ensuring compliance with design specifications. The primary aim of this study was to introduce a pioneering approach for estimating visual comfort in indoor environments that is non-intrusive, practical, and can deliver accurate results without compromising accuracy. By incorporating mathematical visual comfort estimation into a regression model, the proposed method was evaluated and compared using real-life scenario. The experimental results demonstrated that the suggested model surpassed the mathematical model with an impressive performance improvement of 99%, requiring fewer computational resources and exhibiting a remarkable 95% faster processing time.
