Automated Daylighting Control System based on Sky Luminance Monitoring and Lighting Computing

Sufficient daylight exposure contributes to occupants' productivity and health in buildings. However, excessive daylight ingress induces discomfort glare and increases the cooling load in warm seasons. The performance of manual shading systems is limited b ...

The Layer Laboratory: A Calculus for Additive and Subtractive Composition of Anisotropic Surface Reflectance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

We present a versatile computational framework for modeling the reflective and transmissive properties of arbitrarily layered anisotropic material structures. Given a set of input layers, our model synthesizes an effective BSDF of the entire structure, whi ...

Design and demonstration of a prototype 1.5 kWth hybrid solar/autothermal steam gasifier

Sophia Haussener, Iacopo Guscetti

A 1.5 kWth hybrid solar/autothermal steam gasifier was designed and tested for continuously producing synthesis gas. Time-averaged responses to a series of inlet flow conditions were examined in a high-flux solar simulator. The gasifier consisted of a SiC ...

An embedded system for quasi real-time lighting computation based on sky monitoring

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Lighting simulation plays a significant role in the architectural design and evaluation of performance parameters of buildings. The general method of assuming a virtual sky in lighting simulation may lead to mismatch with the real situation, which conventi ...

Sampling and Exact Reconstruction of Pulses with Variable Width

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Gilles Baechler

Recent sampling results enable the reconstruction of signals composed of streams of fixed-shaped pulses. These results have found applications in topics as varied as channel estimation, biomedical imaging and radio astronomy. However, in many real signals, ...

A Physically Plausible Model for Rendering Highly Scattering Fluorescent Participating Media

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Stefan Eilemann, Ahmet Bilgili

We present a novel extension of the path tracing algorithm that is capable of treating highly scattering participating media in the presence of fluorescent structures. The extension is based on the formulation of the full radiative transfer equation when s ...
