Daylighting design has become prevalent in modern buildings in the effort to create a more
sustainable living environment. Past and recent bodies of research emerged are mainly …

This paper reviewed the state of the art in designing renewable energy systems specifically
solar-based energy system, ground source-based system and day-lighting system, to gain …

Wind catcher as a natural ventilation system is increasingly used in modern buildings to
minimize the consumption of non-renewable energy and reduce the harmful emissions …

Hydrodynamic performance of a one-sided wind catcher was investigated by experimental
wind tunnel and smoke visualization testing. Wind catchers or what is called Baud-Geers in …

Fresnel lenses are optical devices for solar radiation concentration and are of lower volume
and weight, smaller focal length and lower cost, compared to the thick ordinary lenses. The …

Experimental wind tunnel and smoke visualisation testing and CFD modelling were
conducted to investigate the effect of air flow control mechanism and heat source inside …

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 …

In a dense urban environment, sky obstruction caused by high rise buildings causes minimal
daylighting for interiors on lower floors and in deep interior spaces. Innovative daylighting …

Since lighting accounts for 20% of global electricity consumption in buildings, daylighting
system is an important solution to achieve energy savings in lighting and to reduce carbon …

Tubular light guides have found practical application in many buildings. They enable to
improve illuminance level in internal parts of buildings. The paper presents results of …
