The illumination of the environment undergoes both intensity and spectral changes during
the 24 h cycle of a day. Daylight spectral power distributions are well described by low …

We have analyzed the colorimetric and spectral characteristics of 2600 daylight spectra
(global spectral irradiances on a horizontal surface) measured for all sky states during a 2 …

Colours that surround us are not just the result of surface properties, rather the interplay
between the spectral distribution of illuminating light and spectrally specific surface …

Under stable atmospheric conditions the brightness of the urban sky varies throughout the
night following the time course of the anthropogenic emissions of light. Different types of …

The evaluation of non-visual effects of light is a crucial topic in lighting design research and
practice. Performing such analysis requires precise information about the spectral …

The ability to map annual irradiation onto the urban fabric can be a powerful tool for
identifying areas in which solar energy may potentially be utilised, as well as where some …

Artificial light at night has affected most of the natural nocturnal landscapes worldwide and
the subsequent light pollution has diverse effects on flora, fauna and human well-being. To …

As applied to urban domains, traditional representations of surface albedo do not
adequately account for the complex radiative exchange within the urban canopy. In this …

This study investigates the influence of the short-term dynamics of daylight on simulation-
based predictions of the annual daylight availability in a building. To this end annual indoor …

The present work discusses simulation results of annual indoor illuminance distributions for
two office geometries situated in Freiburg, Germany, calculated with six different RADIANCE …
