Using support vector machine to detect desk illuminance sensor blockage for closed-loop daylight harvesting

Energy and Buildings, 2022
Daylight can reduce electric lighting in buildings. This is facilitated by sensors that relay real-time illuminance data to a light controller. When daylight provides greater than required or desired levels of illuminance, control actions enable electric lights to reduce their output and save energy.

Degradation of Typical Indoor Air Pollutants Using Fe-Doped TiO₂Thin Film under Daylight Illumination [PDF]

Journal of Chemistry, 2014
A type of iron-doped titania thin film was prepared by means of sol-gel method to degrade indoor formaldehyde (HCHO), ammonia (NH3), and benzene (C6H6) under sunlight. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spetra (EDS). The results showed that the

Off‐Grid Solar Systems: An Experimental Work and Systematic Techno‐Economic Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
In the study mentioned above, experimental monitoring and economic evaluation of two off‐grid PV systems were conducted using a low‐cost data logger. The results suggest that basic DC systems are economically feasible compared to grid power, but that AC systems require further cost‐cutting to achieve financial viability.

The Ecology of Human Sleep (EcoSleep) Cohort Study: Protocol for a longitudinal repeated measurement burst design study to assess the relationship between sleep determinants and outcomes under real‐world conditions across time of year

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The interplay of daily life factors, including mood, physical activity, or light exposure, influences sleep architecture and quality. Laboratory‐based studies often isolate these determinants to establish causality, thereby sacrificing ecological validity.

The Impact of Lunar Phases During Day and Night Cycles on Perinatal Outcomes: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Birth, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 192-200, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Light changes during the lunar cycle affect rhythms in diverse species. Human studies focusing on whether the moon influences human health have so far neglected the effects of light/dark cycles. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lunar phases impact perinatal outcomes by considering illumination levels due to day ...
