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 ...

Evaluating assumptions of scales for subjective assessment of thermal environments – Do laypersons perceive them the way, we researchers believe?
(Elsevier, 2020-03-15)
People's subjective response to any thermal environment is commonly investigated by using rating scales describing the degree of thermal sensation, comfort, and acceptability. Subsequent analyses of results collected in ...
