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

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