The innovative daylighting systems (IDS) seek to meet the illumination requirements in
buildings, where inadequate amount of daylight is provided by the conventional daylighting …

This paper is a literature study of daylight transport systems aiming at selecting the most
appropriate ones for application at high latitudes. It is limited to the systems that transport …

Considering that reading and research are the main functions of use in libraries of all
educational facilities, proper lighting becomes a crucial factor in the overall success of a …

Hollow, cylindrical, prismatic light guides (CPLGs) are optical components that, using total
internal reflection (TIR), are able to transmit high-diameter light beams in daylight and …

Human life has been dominated by daylighting ever since being early inhabitants in caves.
For centuries, it has been the only light source available [1, 2]. On the one hand the sun …

The aim of this work is to provide an analytical method based on experimental
measurements in order to obtain the prismatic film deformation for different curvatures of …

Daylight guidance systems deliver daylight into remote parts of buildings. However, they still
lack market penetration. The primary difficulty lies within the installation process. Daylight …

Optical profilometers based on light reflection may fail at surfaces presenting steep slopes
and highly curved features. Missed light, interference and diffraction at steps, peaks and …

Cylindrical prismatic hollow light guides are able to transmit daylight properly into the
spaces of a building in which natural light has a difficult access. Transmission through the …
