A Prototype Toolkit For Evaluating Indoor Environmental Quality In Commercial Buildings [PDF]

, 2013
Measurement of building environmental parameters is often complex, expensive, and not easily proceduralized in a manner that covers all commercial buildings. Evaluating building indoor environmental quality performance is therefore not standard practice.

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.

Enhancing Daylight and Energy Efficiency in Hot Climate Regions with a Perforated Shading System Using a Hybrid Approach Considering Different Case Studies

Buildings
Direct sunlight causes glare and reduces indoor daylight quality, making shading systems essential. This study proposes and validates a perforated shading screen (PSS) to enhance daylighting and energy efficiency. A hybrid approach integrating parametric

Daylighting Performance of Solar Control Films for Hospital Buildings in a Mediterranean Climate [PDF]

, 2019
One of the main retrofitting strategies in warm climates is the reduction of the effects of solar radiation. Cooling loads, and in turn, cooling consumption, can be reduced through the implementation of reflective materials such as solar control films.

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.
