INTEGRATION ANALYSIS OF THERMAL AND DAYLIGHT PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE BUILDING ENVELOPE

Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment, 2022
Several strategies in reducing external heat gain sometimes have an impact on limited access to daylight in buildings. Therefore, an integrated study is needed between thermal and daylight performance of the building.

Investigating the interaction between spatial configuration and daylight performance in predicting movement behavior

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
Spatial configuration and daylight performance play an important role in shaping how occupants move and use interior space. However, these variables have often been studied separately and their combined effects on movement behavior have been understudied.

Can daylight-PDT be performed indoor? [PDF]

Giornale Italiano di Dermatologia e Venereologia, 2018
Natural DayLight-mediated PhotoDynamic Therapy (NDL-PDT) is an efficacious treatment option for thin actinic keratosis that offers advantages over conventional PDT in terms of tolerability and cost. It is now accepted that the minimum criteria required for effective NDL-PDT is a dose of 4 J/cm² with a treatment time of 2 hours and a minimum temperature

Beyond illuminance: daylighting performance and occupant satisfaction in tropical high-rise offices

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Despite abundant solar availability in tropical regions, achieving effective daylighting in high-rise office buildings remains challenging because measures used to control glare and solar heat gain may also reduce daylight access.

Thermal and spectral impact of building integrated Mirrored Light Pipe to human circadian rhythms and thermal environment

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2022
Light holds an important place in the way of life of humans. The first type of lighting which could be exploited was daylight. Tubular Daylight Guidance Systems (TDGS) transport and distribute this daylight inside a building.
