Abstract：In order to understand people's comfort perception of different illuminance levels in rail transit spaces,this study aims to promote the development of the lighting environment in rail transit space towards greener and more human-centric approaches from the perspective of illuminance.Through the division and selection of functional spaces in underground rail transit stations,four experimental scenarios were chosen to establish spatial models.Different illuminance levels were set based on existing research,and comfort evaluations were conducted through questionnaires.The study reaches the following conclusions:in underground rail transit spaces,the majority of people find lighting schemes with higher illuminance on station hall facades more comfortable.Gender and age factors are strongly correlated with illuminance comfort evaluations in underground rail transit spaces.Men and younger individuals(below 40)tend to find dimmer lighting schemes on platform levels more comfortable,while women and older people(above 50)perceive brighter lighting schemes as more comfortable.From the perspective of green lighting,maintaining an illuminance ratio between overall platform lighting and local lighting at at 1∶3～1∶4,and the illuminance ratio between 1∶2～1∶3 with the waiting area lighting,can satisfy people's visual comfort while also reducing lighting energy consumption in rail transit space.
