Daylighting as a research topic situates itself at the interface between psycho-physiological
and environmental factors, bringing together questions relevant to architectural design and …

Unlike artificial light sources, which can be calibrated to meet a desired luminous effect
regardless of latitude, climate, or time of day, daylight is a dynamic light source, which …

Virtual renderings are increasingly used in the architectural design process and in lighting
quality research to assess the visual appearance of indoor environments. Thanks to imaging …

This paper presents an experimental research study intended to evaluate daylight
perception in work environments. The current metrics for assessing daylight in work …

In this conceptual article we propose a framework for describing the experience of delightful
daylighting in Nordic homes and a method to correlate it with an existing quantitative …

It is desirable to design buildings with natural daylight and views to the outside, which can
maximize passive solar heating, minimize electric lighting use and contribute to feelings of …

This paper presents a proof-of-concept for a goal-based simulation structure that could offer
design support for daylighting performance aspects beyond conventional ones such as …

The perceptual performance of architecture can be greatly altered by the ephemeral quality
of daylight. Unlike artificial light sources, which can be adjusted to meet performance criteria …

The fact that comfort is a subjective state of the mind is widely accepted by engineers,
architects and building scientists. Despite this, capturing all the complexity, subjectivity and …

Concerns about global warming are increasing, hence, the urgency to cut carbon emissions.
Reducing energy consumption, including lighting energy, is seen as the primary solution …
