This paper proposes and validates a daylighting design sequence for sidelit spaces. Since the design sequence uses the daylight factor as a performance metric, it is aimed towards spaces that primarily receive diffuse daylight. It should be complemented by ...
The History and Heritage of Daylighting Design in Architecture Daylight contributes to the quality of architectural spaces and provides most of the necessary lighting provision to building occupants together with a premium spectral composition and temporal ...
Physical or virtual models are commonly employed to visualize the conceptual ideas of architects, lighting designers and daylighting researchers. The models are also used to assess the daylighting performance of their buildings, particularly when Complex F ...
Complex fenestration systems, such as prismatic and laser cut panels, are emerging as attractive options in architectural design thanks to their high potential to assist in energy and comfort issues. These systems can be used to redirect intense illuminati ...
Recent studies have attempted to link environmental cues, such as lighting, with human performance and health, and initial findings seem to indicate a positive correlation between the two. The technical question this paper addresses is the use of Daylight ...
Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are widely studied to help redirecting daylight into a room in order to optimise its luminous properties. Daylighting designers and researchers usually employ physical and virtual models to assess their daylighting perfor ...
Daylight is a valuable resource for both energy and human health. However, this resource is often underutilized in buildings due to the difficulty of controlling the changing qualities of daylight. Deep-plan building spaces pose an especially challenging p ...
The daylight design of building spaces for non-visual effects could have major implications for healthcare and residential buildings where occupants can remain in fixed positions for extended periods. This poster describes the formulation and application o ...
Anidolic Daylighting Systems (ADS) typically reduce the daylight flux reaching an office room‟s window section and increase it in the rear of the room. They offer interesting possibilities for the combination of comfortable daylighting and highly energy-ef ...
Recent studies have attempted to link environmental cues, such as lighting, with human performance and health, and initial findings seem to indicate a positive correlation between the two. Light is the major environmental time cue that resets the human cir ...
