Subjective and Physiological Responses towards Interior Natural Lightscape: Influences of Aperture Design, Window Size and Sky Condition

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Indoor daylighting quality has impacts on occupants’ physical and psychological aspects. Although daylighting design metrics have strictly restricted the amount of sunlight penetration, studies have shown occupants’ preference towards an appropriate ...

Evaluation and Optimization of Daylighting in Heritage Buildings: A Case-Study at High Latitudes

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Transforming historical listed buildings into workplaces is a serious challenge, particularly for buildings with relatively small windows in the façades, which determine scarce daylighting indoors.

A Study of Design Variables in Daylight and Energy Performance in Residential Buildings under Hot Climates

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
In Saudi Arabia, residential buildings are one of the major contributors to total energy consumption. Even though there are abundant natural resources, it is somewhat difficult to apply them to building designs, as design variables, due to slow progress ...

Minimum Daylight Autonomy: A New Concept to Link Daylight Dynamic Metrics with Daylight Factors

open access: yesLEUKOS, 2019
Daylight metrics act as a useful tool to quantify the potential of natural light in an architectural space as well as the energy savings promoted by a suitable design of windows, atriums, and skylights. Accordingly, a new indoor lighting metric is proposed, minimum daylight autonomy, defined as the percentage of occupied time when an illuminance ...

Cross-validation and robustness of daylight glare metrics [PDF]

open access: yesLighting Research & Technology, 2019
This study evaluates the performance and robustness of 22 established and newly proposed glare prediction metrics. Experimental datasets of daylight-dominated workplaces in office-like test rooms were collected from studies by seven research groups in six different locations (Argentina, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Japan and the United States).
