Light shelves have been discussed in numerous studies as suitable solutions for controlling
daylight in side-lit spaces. It is a system that can be easily modified, offering a range of …

Daylight-linked controls (DLCs) allow to reduce energy costs and to maximize users'
comfort. Despite benefits it would provide, DLCs use is rather limited because of different …

One of the least used aspects of BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the ability to obtain
the energy model of the building using the BIM methodology known as BIM 6D. This digital …

The energy consumption for the artificial lighting in school buildings is one of the main
consumers of electricity. In Greece, there is a large number of school buildings with quite old …

The objective of the present research is to determine those daylighting design strategies that
may optimize the visual environment in preschool classrooms in the context of the climatic …

While LEDs are now the most efficient light sources, their adoption in the road lighting
design has been delayed due to a variety of reasons such as malpractice, huge number of …

Daylighting is a healthy and energy-efficient building design strategy that has increasingly
attracted the attention of researchers. This study investigates daylighting and the energy …

The present study includes a combined assessment of the energy efficiency and economic
performance of energy measures in five-story existing and newly constructed office buildings …

Although with the advent of the LEDs the energy consumption in buildings can be reduced
by 50%, there exists a potential for energy savings due to lighting controls. Moreover …

Electric lighting is responsible of about one fifth of the electricity demand of buildings in
Switzerland. Therein, integrated control of sun shadings and artificial lighting can mitigate …
