Experimental demonstration of ray-optical refraction with confocal lenslet arrays

Toralf Scharf

We observe imaging through windows comprising pairs of confocal lenslet arrays that have different focal lengths but that are otherwise identical. Image space is stretched in the longitudinal direction only. Such windows are examples of METATOYs, optical c ...

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 ...

A first application of the Lightsolve approach: Pre-design of the new Belgian VELUX headquarters

Marilyne Andersen, Magali Bodart

This study presents the application of the “Lightsolve” method on the pre-design of a new sustainable building in order to optimize its daylighting. At the time of the project, this method combined climate-based illuminance and glare evaluations with visua ...

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 ...

Multicriteria analysis of health, comfort and energy efficiency in buildings

Flourentzos Flourentzou, Claude-Alain Roulet

In order to comply with sustainable development policy, the minimum that buildings should achieve are a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient environment. Criteria for individually assessing each of the many criteria are known: the occupant's perceived ...

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 ...

Performance criteria for healthy and energy efficient buildings: definition, assessment and building classification

Carlo Peruzzo, Claude-Alain Roulet

One of the aims of the HOPE project is to develop a method to assess healthiness and energy efficiency of buildings and strategies to optimise their performance towards health and energy efficiency. In this project, a building is defined "Healthy and Energ ...

Multicriteria analysis of health, comfort and energy-efficiency of buildings

Claude-Alain Roulet

In order to cope with sustainable development policy, buildings should be at least healthy, comfortable and energy efficient. Criteria for assessing individually the occupant's perceived health, the provided thermal, visual, acoustical comfort, the indoor ...
