Goal-Based Daylighting Design Using an Interactive Simulation Method

This paper proposes an interactive goal-based method for designing day lit buildings. The lighting simulation tool which supports this process is a hybrid global illumination rendering method which efficiently computes annual daylighting metrics. The goal- ...

Recent Research on Anidolic Daylighting Systems: Highly Reflective Coating Materials and Chronobiological Properties

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf

Making daylight more available in buildings is highly desirable for reasons of energy efficiency, visual comfort, occupant well-being and health. The Anidolic Integrated Ceiling (AIC) is a highly efficient daylighting system, designed to gather and redirec ...

Increasing Useful Daylight – Promising Systems and Technological Challenges

Marilyne Andersen

While there is no doubt daylighting can offer great benefits in terms of energy consumption, sustainability and health, it is also highly sensitive to a careful planning and control. Not only must we try to increase the availability and use of daylight ins ...

Using Digital Cameras as Quasi-Spectral Radiometers to Study Complex Fenestration Systems

Marilyne Andersen

This work discusses the use of digital cameras fitted with absorption filters as quasi-spectral radiometers. By filtering incident light into selected wavelength intervals, accurate estimates of radiances can be made for unknown spectra. This approach is b ...

A Simulation-Based Expert System for Daylighting Design

Marilyne Andersen

In this paper, we propose an expert system for daylighting in architecture which is used to guide a goal-oriented, user-interactive design process. This system is supported by a knowledge-base which has been populated using a set of previously completed si ...

CIE Standard skies in Switzerland: Relative Occurrence and Impact on Daylighting System Performance

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart

The purpose of this work is the definition of a representative sky for the Geneva Lake Region (south-west Switzerland). A representative sky is a theoretical blended sky based on the relative occurrence of a subset of the 15 standard general skies suggeste ...

Assessing Solar Bidirectional Light Distribution with the Heliodome

Marilyne Andersen

A large variety of angularly selective fenestration systems has been developed in the past two decades and shows great potential in improving visual comfort while reducing energy consumption, especially when combined with spectrally selective properties. S ...

Comparing physical and virtual methods for daylight performance modelling including complex fenestration systems

Anothai Thanachareonkit

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 ...

Modelling Complex Fenestration Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are widely studied to help redirecting daylight into a room in order to optimise its luminous properties. Daylighting designers and researchers usually employ physical and virtual models to assess their daylighting perfor ...

Improving Daylighting in Existing Buildings: Characterizing the Effect of Anidolic Systems

Marilyne Andersen

Because of the longevity of the built environment, it is important not only to study methods of daylighting in new buildings, but to consider daylighting in existing buildings as well. Technologies exist which could benefit these buildings, but predicting ...
