Innovative Devices for Daylighting and Natural Ventilation in Architecture [PDF]
, 2012 It is known that every human activity is better carried out in the presence of natural light than in the absence of it. This is probably due to the comfortable feeling of the occupants respect to the perception of the flowing of time, which is impossible when artificial lamps are the only light sources in the environment.

Natural ventilation strategies for cooling purposes in the rural vernacular architecture of Cyprus [PDF]
RE&PQJ, 2017 The reuse of vernacular dwellings is a sustainable approach, not only because it leaves a small ecological footprint, as opposed to the construction of new buildings, but also because the passive bioclimatic design features of vernacular buildings result in better indoor thermal comfort and in the reduction of energy consumption.
