Computer simulation for buildings has become affordable and possible in both research and
industry during the last decades with rapid progress of computer industry as well as …

The aim of this research is to quantify the daylight factors produced inside a room for
different models of windows, and to conduct an analysis of the results obtained. All trials …

With the development of urbanization, more and more commercial buildings are built in
cities, which is resulting in a large amount of building energy consumption that threatens the …

Nowadays, there is an in-depth debate about the suitability of daylight saving time. The shift
of one hour during summer time allows a better use of daylighting reducing energy …

Recently, corneal illuminance attracts much attention because it is closely related to
important functions of indoor lighting. Especially, applying circadian light in the built …

To ensure sufficient daylight in rooms, daylight performance metrics are the basic references
to guide building design or to benchmark a building against another in terms of daylighting …

The proper design of courtyards and atriums is key in providing sufficient daylight inside
buildings as well as major energy savings in electric lighting. Although a suitable design …

Daylight dynamic metrics provide an alternative approach for the assessment of the energy
savings promoted by lighting control systems. This research aims to quantify the energy …
