Occupants’ behaviour in energy simulation tools: lessons from a field monitoring campaign regarding lighting and shading control

Marilyne Andersen

Previous studies have shown that the choice of the behavioural model for the control of lighting and shading devices has important implications in the energy performance assessment of office buildings and directly influences the comparison of design altern ...

Gaze-Driven approach for estimating luminance values in the field of view for discomfort assessments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

A gaze-driven methodology for discomfort glare was developed and applied for glare evaluation. A series of user assessments were performed in an office-like test laboratory under various lighting conditions. The participants’ gaze responses were recorded b ...

TILDE: A Temporally Invariant Learned DEtector

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Yannick Verdie

We introduce a learning-based approach to detect repeatable keypoints under drastic imaging changes of weather and lighting conditions to which state-of-the-art keypoint detectors are surprisingly sensitive. We first identify good keypoint candidates in mu ...

Annual Performance Assessment of Complex Fenestration Systems in Sunny Climates Using Advanced Computer Simulations

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Chantal Basurto Dávila

Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are advanced daylighting systems that are placed on the upper part of a window to improve the indoor daylight distribution within rooms. Due to their double function of daylight redirection and solar protection, they are ...
