Discomfort glare from daylight: Influence of transmitted color and the eye's macular pigment

Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks and understanding the f ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Kynthia Chamilothori, Bahar Aydemir

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...

Effect of Indoor Temperature and Glazing with Saturated Color on Visual Perception of Daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

This paper presents the combined effect of indoor temperature (19 degrees C, 22 degrees C, and 26 degrees C) and colored glazing (blue, orange, and neutral) on visual perception of daylight. Experiments were performed in an office-like test room, in which ...

Perceptual effects of daylight patterns in architecture

Kynthia Chamilothori

The profound impact of daylight on occupants is broadly recognized in the fields of architecture and lighting. In particular, the façade and its interplay with light is a central design element, while the diversity of daylight in space is widely acknowledg ...

Design and Validation of a Compact Embedded Photometric Device for Real-time Daylighting Computing in Office Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Studies have shown that the exposure to daylight can have substantial visual/non-visual benefits for building occupants. To optimise daylighting provision while maintaining a comfortable visual environment, daylighting control systems have been investigate ...

Reliability of daylight and energy demand evaluations for decision making at the conceptual design stage of neighborhood design

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal, Gérald Maurice Claude Danseux

When conducting building performance simulation (BPS) at the early design stage, potential impact on design decisions is the greatest. However, the reliability of evaluations resulting from early design stage BPS models may suffer given that building attri ...

Lighting simulation for External Venetian blinds based on BTDF and HDR sky luminance monitoring

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

The precise daylighting simulation in buildings can potentially contribute to designers’ and occupants’ smart utilization of it. The traditional method of employing sky models was indicated with noticeable errors in transient lighting simulation for comple ...

OCUVIS: A Web-Based Visualizer for Simulated Daylight Performance

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

This paper introduces an interactive web-based visualizer for multi-metric daylight simulation results, named OCUVIS. It is able to display simulation-based results for a diverse range of ocular human-centric metrics such as non-visual health potential (nv ...

Predictive models for assessing the passive solar and daylight potential of neighborhood designs: A comparative proof-of-concept study

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Émilie Nault

Despite recent developments, neighborhood-scale performance assessment at the early-design phase is seldom carried out in practice, notably due to high computational complexity, time requirement, and perceived need for expert knowledge, ultimately limiting ...

Potential advantages of a multifunctional complex fenestration system with embedded micro-mirrors in daylighting

Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Ali Motamed, Jing Gong

Proper daylighting designs in interior spaces may reduce the energy costs of electric lighting and improve the productivity of occupants. This paper reports the potential advantages of a multifunctional complex fenestration system with embedded micro-mirro ...
