Climate based daylight simulations with EvalDRC – analysis of Daylight Redirecting Components

open access: yesJournal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2017
The new calculation tool EvalDRC enhances current strategies for the simulation of Daylight Redirecting Components (DRCs). It is built upon RADIANCE as a core simulation engine and uses the daylight coefficient method, climate based sky models for annual

Climate based facade design for business buildings with examples from central London [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There is a disconnection between commercial architecture and environmental thinking, where green features can be included as part of a strategy for gaining approvals and marketing projects, but those features are not reviewed after completion and ...

Parametric Optimization of a Responsive Façade System for Daylight Performance

open access: yesJournal of Architectural Sciences and Applications, 2022
The effective use of daylight is a critical design input that increases spatial qualities, sustainability, and energy efficiency targets in buildings. The emerging kinetic architecture concept supports these goals.

A dimensionality reduction method to select the most representative daylight illuminance distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
One challenge when evaluating daylight distribution is dealing with the large amount of temporal and spatial data, visualisations and variability in illuminances that are assessed in buildings.

Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential

A COMPARISON OF FOUR DAYLIGHTING METRICS IN ASSESSING THE DAYLIGHTING PERFORMANCE OF THREE SHADING SYSTEMS

open access: yesJournal of Green Building, 2017
ABSTRACT The assessment of the daylighting performance of a design solution is a complex task due to the changing nature of daylight. A few quantitative metrics are available to designers to assess such a performance, among them are the mean hourly illuminance (MHI), the daylight factor (DF), the daylight autonomy (DA) and the useful daylight ...

Comparative Analysis of Daylight and Visual Quality Across School Plan Typologies: A Spatial Layout Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Daylighting
Designing daylight-based spaces has gained increasing attention due to its numerous benefits and alignment with global sustainability standards. However, limited research has focused on how architectural layouts affect daylight distribution and visual ...
