Energy efficiency and lighting design in courtyards and atriums: A predictive method for daylight factors
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The proper design of courtyards and atriums is key in providing sufficient daylight inside buildings as well as major energy savings in electric lighting. Although a suitable design requires calculations using lighting ...

Continuous overcast daylight autonomy (DAo.con): a new dynamic metric for sensor less lighting smart controls
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)
Daylight dynamic metrics are useful tools for quantifying the switch-on time or the dimming of electric lighting according to the architectural scenario. A variant of these metrics can also be used to define strategies to ...

Analysis of Circadian Stimulus and Visual Comfort Provided by Window Design in Architecture
(IACSIT Press, 2017-06)
Light is the major synchronizer of circadian rhythms to the 24-hour solar day. Compared to the visual system, the circadian system requires more light to be activated and is more sensitive to short-wavelength light. ...
