Simple mathematical models to link climate-based daylight metrics with daylight factor metrics and daylighting design implications [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Determination of interior daylight illuminance is the key step in daylighting schemes. Recently, climate-based daylight metrics (CBDMs) which considers the real climatic data for the location has been adopted to evaluate the dynamic daylight performance.

Sustainable Architecture and Human Health: A Case for Effective Circadian Daylighting Metrics
BuildingsThe development of the fluorescent lamp and the air-conditioning system resulted in buildings being lit inexpensively without having to rely on daylighting to save energy, as was the case during the incandescent lamp era.
