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 ...
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 ...
The invention relates to an optical tweezer device including at least one light source (2) and one three-dimensional optical trap (9,10), said optical trap comprising one focusing micro-mirror (7) which is adapted to reflect and focus at least a portion of ...
The “Green Lighting” research project, initiated at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), is aiming at an energy efficient integration of advanced daylighting and electri ...
Electric lighting is responsible for up to one third of an office building’s electricity needs. Making daylight more available in office buildings can not only contribute to significant energy savings but also enhance the occupants’ performance and wellbei ...
Electric lighting is responsible for a significant fraction of electricity consumption within non-residential buildings. Making daylight more available in office and commercial buildings can lead as a consequence to important electricity savings, as well a ...
The objective of this paper is to assess the capability of existing lighting simulation methods to predict the performance of complex fenestration systems, which are becoming a commonly used component in buildings construction domain. A specific experiment ...
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 ...
We propose a self-commissioning, user-adaptive blinds and electric lighting controller for small office rooms. Self-commissioning, in this context, means that the controller builds an internal representation of the room, in particular of the room's dayligh ...
In this paper, the development of an original and time-efficient measurement device is proposed for the detailed investigation of the daylight distribution within buildings. It is meant to be used for two kinds of applications: - to assess the sunlight dis ...
