Concept, Design and Performance of a Shape Variable Mashrabiya as a Shading and Daylighting System for Arid Climates

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

The design of a solar protection system that can minimize solar gains while maximizing daylight and view to the outside is particularly challenging in arid climates, such as in the Middle-East, where sand, wind and corrosion impose specific constraints. We ...

Advanced Control of Electrochromic Windows

Nicolas Morel, Nikolaos Zarkadis

In our research we use the technology of electrochromic (EC) glazing to maximize the use of daylight and minimize the energy consumption in buildings while preserving visual and thermal comfort of the users. We propose an advanced automatic control of EC w ...

Assessment of Circadian Weighted Radiance Distribution Using a Camera-Like Light Sensor

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Laurent Deschamps, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit

Suboptimal light distribution in a room can cause visual discomfort and glare. Next to rods and cones, perception of light is also governed by a third class of photoreceptors, important for circadian rhythm regulation and non-visual functions such as alert ...
