Routledge 2022Combining thermal insulation and mobile communication in buildings: influence of laser-treated glazing on microwave propagation
Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Héloïse Ludivine Delaporte
With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...
IOP2022Comparison between CIE 2° and 10° field photopic luminosity functions V(λ) for calculating daylight discomfort glare metrics
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain
The spectral sensitivity of the average human eye in photopic conditions is represented by the photopic luminosity function V (λ). The CIE has established the photopic luminosity functions for the 2o and 10o visual fields for a standard observer applicable ...
2022Visual comfort without borders: Extending daylight glare prediction to dim daylit environments
Avoiding discomfort glare is one of the critical aspects of maintaining visual comfort, which significantly influences occupants' overall satisfaction with their indoor environment. Discomfort glare prediction models have been developed for various lightin ...

The present invention concerns an insulating glazing unit (1) adapted to let pass electromagnetic radiation with low transmission loss for receiving electromagnetic radiation. The insulating glazing unit (1) comprises: a first windowpane (3) defining at le ...
2021Does glazing color influence our perception of discomfort glare from daylight?
Spectrum and correlated colour temperature of light are shown to influence human visual comfort. Previous research conducted with electric light, mainly in the context of vehicular headlamps, have demonstrated that coloured LEDs induce more discomfort glar ...
2021Behind electrochromic glazing: Assessing user's perception of glare from the sun in a controlled environment
Jan Wienold, Caroline Karmann, Sneha Jain
The adaptable transmittance of electrochromic glazing allows to control the solar radiation entering buildings, yet the level of transmittance needed to protect from glare is still an unanswered question. To bridge this gap, this study evaluates the level ...
2021Evaluation of daylighting strategies based on their embodied carbon emissions: a first methodological framework and case study
Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme
The impact of daylighting strategies on a building’s carbon emissions have so far been assessed mostly based on the building’s use phase and their resulting operational benefits, overlooking embodied carbon emissions of material production, construction, m ...
