Dynamic Daylight Performance Metrics for Sustainable Building Design

LEUKOS, 2006
AbstractThe objective of this document is to promote the use of dynamic daylight performance measures for sustainable building design. The paper initially explores the shortcomings of conventional, static daylight performance metrics which concentrate on individual sky conditions, such as the common daylight factor.

RF Magnetron Sputtered Tungsten Disulfide Films: Influence of Target Preparation, Deposition Parameters, and Storage Conditions on Thin Film Stoichiometry

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Sputtered WS2 films were investigated in terms of their S‐ and O‐concentration depending on deposition power and pre‐sputter time. Chemical and structural investigations were done using EDS, TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD. In general, 20 W films exhibit a wide variation in stoichiometry and structure whereas 80 W films demonstrate a higher S/W ratio than 20 W ...

Daylight Performance of an Office Building

E3S Web of Conferences
Daylighting plays an important role to enhance the comfort levels for the occupants in the building and also to reduce the usage of artificial lighting during daytime conditions. Excess daylighting of the building increases sun lighting inside the building. Daylighting depends on number of openings provided in each direction of the building and also on

Quasi‐Single‐Mode Polaritonic Crystal for Hyperbolic Phonon‐Polaritons

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐field study of the polaritonic Fourier crystal with α‐MoO3 reveals that the hyperbolic phonon‐polaritons within the Type‐I Reststrahlen band may form a quasi‐single‐mode Bloch wave where only the fundamental mode propagates in the crystal. Our results demonstrate the realization of a quasi‐single‐mode regime for the inherently multimode hyperbolic
