Transmittance thresholds of electrochromic glazing to achieve annual low-glare work environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

A recent study on the glare protection performance of electrochromic (EC) glazing showed that visible transmittance levels lower than 0.6% are necessary to achieve comfortable situations for sun positions, that were close to the central field of view. Howe ...

The adaptable transmittance of electrochromic glazing allows to control the solar radiation entering buildings, yet the level of transmittance needed to protect from glare is still an unanswered question. To bridge this gap, this study evaluates the level ...

The city of Lausanne is built on fairly steep slopes, with the consequence that some buildings are leaning against what could be described as cliffs and, therefore, have only one glazed facade. The Rue Saint Martin office building has been built during the ...

Calibrated climate-based lighting simulation models of buildings perform an essential role in post-occupancy evaluations (POE), such as annual frequency assessments of daylighting quality and visual discomfort. However, the role of lighting analysis is tem ...

The research consists of three successive and interdependent parts. The 1st part seeks to reconstruct the typological evolution of primary schools and their associated daylighting strategies between 1945 and 2015 in Switzerland – a country widely recognize ...
