Daylighting Performance of Solar Control Films for Hospital Buildings in a Mediterranean Climate [PDF]
, 2019 One of the main retrofitting strategies in warm climates is the reduction of the effects of solar radiation. Cooling loads, and in turn, cooling consumption, can be reduced through the implementation of reflective materials such as solar control films.

Daylight calculations in practice:An investigation of the ability of nine daylight simulation programs to calculate the daylight factor in five typical rooms [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of the project was to obtain a better understanding of what daylight calculations show and also to gain knowledge of how the different daylight simulation programs perform compared with each other.Experience has shown that results for the same room, obtained from two daylight simulation programs can give different results.
