Thermal comfort prediction in a building category: Artificial neural network generation from calibrated models for a social housing stock in southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2019-03-05)
A significant part of the housing stock in southern Europe is obsolete and in need of extensive retrofitting to improve its energy performance and thermal comfort. However, before adequate retrofit measures can be proposed ...

Design optimisation of perforated solar façades in order to balance daylighting with thermal performance
(Elsevier, 2017-11-15)
On fully-glazed building façades perforated solar screens (PSS) are often used as an outer skin in order to reduce energy consumption and to solve issues such as visual appearance. However, not only must PSS control solar ...

Statistical methods applied to optimize perforated façade design for daylight availability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)
Perforated solar screens (PSS) are an important consideration in building façade design due to its contribution to sustainability through daylighting. PSS design requires the consideration of many potential design alternatives ...

Analysis of circadian stimulus allowed by daylighting in hospital rooms
(SAGE Publications, 2017-02)
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. Without ...
