Daylighting simulation: methods, algorithms, and resources [PDF]

, 1999
This document presents work conducted as part of Subtask C, ''Daylighting Design Tools'', Subgroup C2, ''New Daylight Algorithms'', of the IEA SHC Task 21 and the ECBCS Program Annex 29 ''Daylight in Buildings''. The search for and collection of daylighting analysis methods and algorithms led to two important observations.

Computational modelling and simulation to mitigate the risk of daylight exposure in tropical museum buildings

Energy and Built Environment
In museum design and operation, daylight is typically discouraged due to high risk of damaging the display objects. However, past studies in high-latitude regions have shown the possibility to apply daylight in museums, so long as it is carefully planned,

Turkish D-light : accentuating heritage values with daylight [PDF]

, 2014
Historic buildings have their own cultural identity, which is often related to their aesthetic qualities such as period characteristics (geometry, size, colour, form and shape), materials and construction.

Daylighting Performance of Solar Control Films for Hospital Buildings in a Mediterranean Climate [PDF]

, 2019
One of the main retrofitting strategies in warm climates is the reduction of the effects of solar radiation. Cooling loads, and in turn, cooling consumption, can be reduced through the implementation of reflective materials such as solar control films.

A dimensionality reduction method to select the most representative daylight illuminance distributions [PDF]

, 2020
One challenge when evaluating daylight distribution is dealing with the large amount of temporal and spatial data, visualisations and variability in illuminances that are assessed in buildings.

Daylight simulations and tubular light guides

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2008
Indoor visual comfort is one of the leading requirements for building design. Results of computer daylight simulations serve to optimise the design process. Computer programs Ecotect and Radiance were used for the simulation of daylighting from tubular light guides of various diameters and lengths.
