Towards novel glazing with seasonal dynamics based on micro compound parabolic concentrators

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Jing Gong

Thermal loss and overheating caused by glazing is a key issue in reducing CO2 emission and energy consumption of buildings. A novel glazing based on micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) is proposed. The glazing consists of a polymer layer with emb ...

The Dynamics of Shadow: Architecture of Natural Light in Extreme Latitudes

Marilyne Andersen, Mandana Sarey Khanie, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

While architecture is composed of static structural elements, daylit space is perceived as a dynamic play of light and shadow – ephemeral qualities that add depth, texture, and movement to spatial composition. Our perception of architecture is greatly impa ...

Embedded microstructures for daylighting and seasonal thermal control

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Yves Leterrier, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Mario Geiger, Nicolas Jolissaint

A novel concept for an advanced fenestration system was studied and samples were produced to demonstrate the feasibility. The resulting novel glazing will combine the functions of daylighting, glare protection, and seasonal thermal control. Coated microstr ...
