Prediction of interior daylight under clear sky conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Most available techniques for predicting internal daylight illuminance do not take into account reflected sunlight, nor the fact that under clear sky conditions the direction of the illuminance is usually upwards, not downwards from the sky.

Spatial Daylight Autonomy Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
SRG has run into a problem with the current LEED V4.I when it comes to achieving daylighting credits for mid-rise buildings in the Pacific Northwest. The higher in latitude a structure is on the globe, the less potential sunlight will reach it.

Adaptive façade application in an office building to enhance daylight and visual comfort under various climatic conditions

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal
Adaptive façades are increasingly used to reconcile high daylight availability with visual comfort, yet their cross-climate performance in U.S. office buildings remains underexplored. This study evaluates a triangular-module external shading device for a
