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.

Prediction of Daylight Availability in a Large Hall with Multiple Facades Using Computer Simulation and Subjective Perception

, 2017
The use of daylighting can minimize energy consumption in buildings. However, people's perception to daylight can be varied for a space that has multiple facades in several orientations.

The development of local solar irradiance for outdoor computer graphics rendering [PDF]

, 2005
Atmospheric effects are approximated by solving the light transfer equation, LTE, of a given viewing path. The resulting accumulated spectral energy (its visible band) arriving at the observer’s eyes, defines the colour of the object currently on the ...

Daylight Utilization with Light Pipe in Farm Animal Production: A Simulation Approach

, 2016
Light pipes offer a passive way to bring daylight inside deep buildings, such as agricultural buildings. However, the lack of reliable performance predictability methods for light pipes represents a major obstacle preventing their widespread use.

Assessment of building façade performance in-terms of daylighting and associated energy consumption in architectural spaces

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2018
This paper examines the effect of vertical and horizontal shading devices on the quality of daylight in buildings and the associated energy saving. Excessive daylight in architectural spaces contributes negatively to the energy consumption in buildings.

Discussing daylight simulations in a proposal for online daylighting education

, 2020
There is increasing interest concerning daylighting in the building sector. However, such knowledge is difficult to penetrate the curricula of architects and designers as existing educational programmes often do not provide sufficient training on BPS. This also leads to superficial use of daylight simulations.This paper presents a proposal for a needs ...

Comparative Analysis of Daylight and Visual Quality Across School Plan Typologies: A Spatial Layout Perspective

Journal of Daylighting
Designing daylight-based spaces has gained increasing attention due to its numerous benefits and alignment with global sustainability standards. However, limited research has focused on how architectural layouts affect daylight distribution and visual ...
