A Daylight Assessment on Visual and Nonvisual Effects of Light Shelves: A Human-centered Simulation-based Approach

open access: yesJournal of Daylighting, 2022
The contribution of daylight to a comfortable environment for occupants has been the subject of studies for years. Light shelves are known as daylight redirecting systems to enhance indoor daylight conditions.

Daylighting Evaluation of Perforated Screen Façade with Light Shelf in the Tropics

open access: yesDimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment
The use of large glass facades in buildings without external shading devices leads to a high daylight level, uneven daylight distribution, and glare. A perforated screen facade (PSF) is one of the shading systems that can provide daylight and view and ...

Integration of Horizontal Light Pipe and Shading Systems in Office Building in the Tropics

open access: yesJournal of Applied Science and Engineering, 2021
Many high-rise office buildings in the tropics have a full-glazed façade and a deep open-plan space. Without any external shading, the office space has a non-uniform daylight distribution and glare problem.

Performance and Aesthetic Effects of Daylight [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1980
An experimental booth was constructed wherein north daylight or cool white fluorescent from either the side or top could be provided with the artificial horizontal illuminance matched to the daylight illuminance (at 320 to 860 lx). Thirty college student subjects performed needle threading, proofreading and graphreading tasks without awareness of the ...

Daylighting in classrooms - the daylight factor as a performance criterion

open access: yes, 2014
Recent research has shown that environmental conditions in classrooms, and namely daylighting conditions, can influence students health, well-being and performance. In the last years several studies, dealing with the effects of environmental conditions in classrooms in the learning process, have been published (Winterbottom, & Wilkins, 2009; Barret ...
