Numerical Simulations and Empirical Data for the Evaluation of Daylight Factors in Existing Buildings in Sweden

Energies, 2019
Point Daylight Factor (DFP) has been used for daylighting design in Sweden for more than 40 years. Progressive densification of urban environments, in combination with stricter regulations on energy performance and indoor environmental quality of ...

Hydrophobic 1D and 3D Anodic Alumina Radiative Coolers on Aluminum: Humidity‐Resilient Daytime Sub‐Ambient Cooling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
1D and 3D nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces were functionalized with stearic acid (STA) to increase hydrophobicity and reduce the influence of humidity on radiative cooling performance. The STA coating improves cooling behavior under humid atmospheric conditions (Madrid summer), before while keeping the optical properties required for ...

Energy‐Transfer‐Driven Programmable Luminescence in Bi3+‐Eu3+ Co‐Doped Na3Ca2TaO6 Phosphors Toward Multifunctional Optical Applications

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Energy transfer from broadband Bi3+ sensitizers to Eu3+ emitters enables composition‐, excitation‐, and temperature‐dependent luminescence in Na3Ca2TaO6. These controllable optical states support ratiometric thermometry and excitation‐selective, filter‐assisted information decoding in flexible phosphor–polydimethylsiloxane films, demonstrating how ...

Designing a Kinetic Façade to Control Glare: Inspiration of Long-Day Plants Pattern

Journal of Daylighting
In this study, to control glare in buildings with glass facades, a kinetic facade was designed using a pattern inspired by nature. Accordingly, in this study, due to the essential similarity of buildings with plants regarding the inability to move and ...

Advancing on a Dynamic Metric to Assess Daylight Sufficiency Based on People's Perception of Daylight Availability in the Tropics

Building and Environment
Dynamic daylight metrics provide valuable information about indoor daylighting performance over time. While a dynamic metric representing occupants’ perception is still needed, no consensus exists about the best-fitted metric and its targets. We hypothesize that outdoor daylight availability drives the perception of sufficient daylight indoors.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
