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.

Real-world validation of climate-based daylight metrics: mission impossible? [PDF]
, 2016 One of the criticisms of metrics founded on climate-based daylight modelling (CBDM) is that they are unverifiable in practice. This criticism received some attention following the decision in 2013 by the Education Funding Agency to make CBDM and the ...
