Screen Façade Pattern Design Driven by Generative Adversarial Networks and Machine Learning Classification for the Evaluation of a Daylight Environment

open access: yesBuildings
This research seeks to identify optimised screen façade patterns and ratios for the effective management of daylight ingress and glare effects. It employs generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate pattern variations and further evaluates the ...

Discomfort Glare from Several Sources: A Formula for Outdoor Lighting

open access: yesLEUKOS The Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, 2019
Many models have been developed to predict the discomfort glare generated by one light source in the visual field. Some of them were generalized to predict discomfort glare from several sources, but they were not directly built from multi-source data. In

DISCOMFORT GLARE CUT-OFF VALUES FROM FIELD AND LABORATORY STUDIES

open access: yesPROCEEDINGS OF the 29th Quadrennial Session of the CIE, 2019
For the application of discomfort glare metrics, a categorisation is used, dividing the metric scale into categories of perception. These categories are separated by borderline values, or so-called cut-off values.
