Dynamic Daylight Performance Metrics for Sustainable Building Design
LEUKOS, 2006 AbstractThe objective of this document is to promote the use of dynamic daylight performance measures for sustainable building design. The paper initially explores the shortcomings of conventional, static daylight performance metrics which concentrate on individual sky conditions, such as the common daylight factor.

New Approaches in Dynamic Metrics for Lighting Control Systems: A Critical Review
Applied SciencesThe growing number of daylighting metrics—often overlapping in scope or terminology—combined with the need for prior familiarization to interpret and apply them effectively, has created a barrier to their adoption beyond academic settings.

Journal of Green Building, 2017 ABSTRACT The assessment of the daylighting performance of a design solution is a complex task due to the changing nature of daylight. A few quantitative metrics are available to designers to assess such a performance, among them are the mean hourly illuminance (MHI), the daylight factor (DF), the daylight autonomy (DA) and the useful daylight ...
