Recommended Practice for Daylighting Buildings

Marilyne Andersen, Joppe Willem Bos

This Recommended Practice conveniently gathers the basic data and techniques which help those concerned with the design of buildings and lighting systems understand and appreciate the opportunities and constraints inherent in daylighting. Daylighted buildi ...

Celebrating Contrast and Daylight Variability in Contemporary Architectural Design: A Typological Approach

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

The perceptual performance of architecture can be greatly altered by the ephemeral quality of daylight. Unlike artificial light sources, which can be adjusted to meet performance criteria regardless of geographic location and time of day, daylight is a var ...

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 ...

A first application of the Lightsolve approach: Pre-design of the new Belgian VELUX headquarters

Marilyne Andersen, Magali Bodart

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 ...

Angle-dependent spectrophotometry of Sol-Gel deposited multilayered oxide coatings on solar collector glasses

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Christian Roecker, Dipanwita Dutta

Multilayered thin oxide films have been deposited on solar collector glazing by sol-gel dip coating in a dust-free environment provided by a laminar flux chapel. A superior film quality and a satisfying film homogeneity have been achieved for the produced ...

Combining time-efficient goniophotometry with scale model studies in a unique instrument

Marilyne Andersen

A new measurement device for the in-depth investigation of the light distribution within buildings is being developed, whose aim is on one hand to assess the sunlight distribution inside scale models of buildings or rooms, and on the other hand to achieve ...
