Optimization of facade design based on the impact of interior obstructions to daylighting [PDF]

, 2015
Overcrowding in the perimeter zone is an inevitable issue in residential rooms with limited space. Obstructions, such as furniture and household items, may block the existing windows, and therefore affect interior daylight conditions.

Optimizing indoor illumination quality and energy efficiency using a spectrally tunable lighting system to augment natural daylight

Optics Express, 2015
This article demonstrates the benefits of complementing a daylight-lit environment with a spectrally tunable illumination system. The spectral components of daylight present in the room are measured by a low-cost miniature spectrophotometer and processed through a number of optimization algorithms, carefully trading color fidelity for energy efficiency.
