LEUKOS, 2023 Daylight dynamic metrics are useful tools for quantifying the switch-on time or the dimming of electric lighting according to the architectural scenario. A variant of these metrics can also be used to define strategies to control the lighting fixtures, dimming the luminous flux with no need for external input and reducing therefore the energy ...

Minimum Daylight Autonomy: A New Concept to Link Daylight Dynamic Metrics with Daylight Factors
LEUKOS, 2019 Daylight metrics act as a useful tool to quantify the potential of natural light in an architectural space as well as the energy savings promoted by a suitable design of windows, atriums, and skylights. Accordingly, a new indoor lighting metric is proposed, minimum daylight autonomy, defined as the percentage of occupied time when an illuminance ...

Three approaches to optimize optical properties and size of a South-facing window for spatial Daylight Autonomy [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2016 Abstract This study presents optimization approaches by a recent Climate-Based-Daylight-Modeling tool, EvalDRC, to figure out the necessary area for a daylight redirecting micro-prism film (MPF) while minimizing the glazing area. The performance of a window in terms of spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) is optimized by its geometry and optical ...

Building and Environment, 2021 Smart window designs have emerged as a means of providing dynamic regulation of solar energy and daylight, enhancing indoor comfort, and achieving building energy conservation. We evaluated a novel window design that integrated a thermotropic (TT) material and Transparent Insulation Material (TIM) and present the investigation in this paper.

Solar Energy, 2020 Abstract Horizontal light pipes (HLP) have shown the potential to convey daylight deeper into buildings. The wide variation in incident angles of sunlight rays and the resulting numerous interreflections of light rays within the pipe are the main reasons for the limited light transmittance of such light pipes during certain daylight periods.

Should Danish building regulations legalise basement dwellings? – Consequences for daylight and view out investigated through case studies [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesDensification of cities is ongoing for sustainability purposes, but it has consequences for daylight availability in dwellings and the view out. Despite 'comparable conditions', national daylight and view-out regulations differ between Nordic countries ...
