Large lightwells to revitalise a deep office building in Lausanne

Bernard Paule

The city of Lausanne is built on fairly steep slopes, with the consequence that some buildings are leaning against what could be described as cliffs and, therefore, have only one glazed facade. The Rue Saint Martin office building has been built during the ...

Outside dynamics for daylightful indoors

Marilyne Andersen

Access to natural light – particularly precious in northern latitudes – greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visua ...

Temperature–Color Interaction: Subjective Indoor Environmental Perception and Physiological Responses in Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo, Kynthia Chamilothori

Objective Temperature–color interaction effects on subjective perception and physiological responses are investigated using a novel hybrid experimental method combining thermal and visual stimuli from real and virtual reality (VR) environments, respectivel ...

Daylight and temperature in buildings: interaction effects on human responses

Giorgia Chinazzo

Over the past years, increasing efforts have been devoted to understand how people perceive the indoor environment with the goal to improve building design and operation. Studies have separately addressed the effects of the four main aspects that influence ...

Daylight affects human thermal perception

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

Understanding the factors that affect human thermal responses is necessary to properly design and operate low-energy buildings. It has been suggested that factors not related to the thermal environment can affect thermal responses of occupants, but these f ...

Shaping light to influence occupants’ experience of space: a kinetic shading system with composite materials

Marilyne Andersen, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Jan Wienold, Joëlle Baehr-Bruyère, Kynthia Chamilothori

Adaptive kinetic façades are systems capable of modifying their shape to optimize their behavior regarding real time outdoor and indoor conditions. They are typically evaluated based on quantifiable physical parameters such as illuminance levels, with litt ...
