Overheating is a common problem both with the use of active and passive solar energy in thermal solar energy systems and in highly glazed buildings. In solar thermal collectors, the elevated temperatures occurring during stagnation result in reduced lifeti ...
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 ...
One main obstacle to facade integration of solar thermal collectors lies in the formal characteristics and low flexibility of available products. Major problems are the black and irregular appearance of their absorbers, their low dimensional flexibility an ...
Because nearly all existing glare equations depend on source size, relative position, and luminance, predicting glare in daylighting software generally requires the pixel-processing of a rendered image meant to reproduce a human’s view. When considering mu ...
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 ...
Discomfort Glare: - Focus on understanding discomfort glare - Embedding eye‐movement patterns in glare assessments - Refining glare position index. Problem: - The light of sight in glare position index is assumed to be fixed - In a natural experience, line ...
A building’s facade design has significant impact on the daylighting performance of interior spaces. This paper presents a tool based on a genetic algorithm (GA) which facilitates exploration of facade designs generated based on illuminance and/or glare ob ...
This guide provides the IES required uniform method for determining and reporting the photometric characteristics of skylights and tubular daylighting devices. It describes the procedures followed and the precautions observed in obtaining uniform and repro ...
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 ...
This study presents the application of the “Lightsolve” method on the pre-design of a new sustainable building in order to optimize its daylighting. At the time of the project, this method combined climate-based illuminance and glare evaluations with visua ...
