Daylight performance - Open Access .click

Solar Energy, 2000
Abstract Increasing the use of natural daylight for lighting purposes in buildings can offer large savings in electricity usage, up to 20–30% of total building energy consumption. One solution is the use of lightpipes that can not only bring light into otherwise inaccessible or dimly lit places, but also improve the internal environment without ...

Daylighting Performance in Residential Buildings

Architectural Science Review, 1999
The amount of daylight entering a building and its distribution depend an both interior and exterior factors. In Hong Kong, most buildings are built close to each other and hence the external environment plays a significant role in the daylighting designs.

Daylighting performance of optical rods

Solar Energy, 2003
A novel tubular daylighting device, the light rod, is shown to have high transmittance throughout the day in Singapore. Constructed of an optical quality polymer and clad by air, the light rod is intended for use in buildings where fabric constraints prevent the use of larger daylighting devices.
