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 ...

Uncovering relationships between view direction patterns and glare perception in a daylit workspace

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

This paper presents the results of an experimental study that aims to provide objective insights as to how luminance distribution in an office setting modulates our view direction (VD) in a daylit workspace while performing office tasks. Using the office-l ...

Daylighting Metrics: Is there a relation between Useful Daylight Illuminance and Daylight Glare Probabilty?

Marilyne Andersen, Nicolas Roy

The establishment of climate-based daylight modeling within research and practice has led to a fundamental reassessment of both the basis and purpose of daylight metrics. Whilst there is no consensus yet on the precise nature of the metric(s) that should r ...

Dynamic Annual Metrics for Contrast in Daylit Architecture

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Daylight is a dynamic source of illumination in architectural space, creating diverse and ephemeral configurations of light and shadow within the built environment. It can generate contrasting levels of brightness between distinct geometries or it can high ...

Advanced Window and Lighting Technologies in net Zero Energy Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini

Light has an important visual and non-visual impact on humans. Most of our information exchange, especially within office working spaces, occurs through it, our circadian rhythms are directly influenced by its presence. On the other hand, artificial lighti ...

A Novel Louver System for Increasing Daylight Usage in Buildings

Marilyne Andersen

Advanced daylighting systems can be effective in increasing light levels in building spaces and reducing energy consumption due to electric lighting. However, a recurring issue found in most existing daylighting systems is the necessity of coupling the lig ...

Ray-tracing simulation of complex fenestration systems based on digitally processed BTDF data

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf

The implementation of Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) in the day-to-day life by practitioners, such as lighting designers, architects and façade makers is not an easy task. However, computer design tools can reinforce their usage through the determinati ...

Daylight optimization of buildings and application of advanced daylighting systems in Central Mexico

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Chantal Basurto Dávila

The intensive use of daylight in buildings is beneficial at many levels: it provides sufficient levels of illumination to perform working activities throughout the day and it reduces the use of artificial light, which in turn leads to lower electricity con ...

Performance of Anidolic Daylighting Systems in tropical climates – Parametric studies for identification of main influencing factors

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf

Making daylight more available in buildings is highly desirable, not only for reasons of energy-efficiency, but also for improvement of occupants’ health and well-being. Core-daylighting, that is daylight provision in areas situated at considerable distanc ...

Ray tracing study for non-imaging daylight collectors

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf, Raphaël Compagnon, Lars Oliver Grobe

This paper presents a novel method to study how well non-imaging daylight collectors pipe diffuse daylight into long horizontal funnels for illuminating deep buildings. Forward ray tracing is used to derive luminous intensity distributions curves (LIDC) of ...
