Complex Fenestration Systems (CFSs) can significantly impact both the visual and non-visual daylight effects on the occupants as well as the energy performance of buildings. To ensure that those impacts improve the overall situation, proper control algorit ...
To understand how daylight gives shape and life to architectural spaces, whether existing or imagined, requires quantifying its dynamism and energy. Maintaining these details presents a challenge to simulation and analysis methods that flatten data into di ...
Facades are the primary interface controlling the flow of solar energy in buildings and affecting their energy balance and environmental impact. Recently, large-scale 3D printing (3DP) of translucent polymers has been explored as a technique for fabricatin ...

This archive contains the data used to calibrate and validate the linearhdr software and is a supplement to the publication describing the method and dataset of HDR environment maps. Raw images may be available on request so long as a means of transferring ...

Computer simulation allows to study daylight conditions in the past that afforded activities in antique buildings. The Python module phos4dtools implements the efficient computation of zonal daylight metrics that are considered to indicate affordances. It ...
This paper presents a preliminary model for relating the optical characteristics of different dynamic shading systems to the visibility of the view through these systems. View visibility is dependent on the optical properties of the façade, the incident li ...
Evaluating the reflection of solar radiation by Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) with structured front-glass is challenging for two reasons. First, the resulting irregular scattering of light cannot be accounted for by simple reflection models. Sec ...
This paper provides a validation of a novel sampling, storage, and evaluation method named raytraverse that can quickly and accurately compute glare and visual comfort metrics including vertical illuminance, Daylight Glare Probability (DGP), and Unified Gl ...
