Aiming to explore its performance as energy efficient system, in this study, the window is
subdivided according to functions, in which the upper part would act as a daylight …

Data-driven models replicate the irregular Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions
(BSDFs) of optically Complex Fenestration Systems in daylight simulation. Radiance …

Visual comfort assessments employing luminance-based metrics rely on efficient CBDM
techniques for image synthesis. Data-driven BSDF models allow to isolate internal light …

Standardized methods for generating angle-dependent, bidirectional, solar-optical
properties for complex fenestration systems do not exist, which means that energy and …

With the increasing adoption of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), concerns arise
about potential glare. While recommended criteria to assess glare exist, it is challenging to …

Retro-reflective coatings applied to blinds of reduced geometric complexity promise to
provide view to the outside while effectively controlling solar gains and glare. To …

Advanced fenestration systems (AFS) can respond to baseline functionalities and
requirements in the remit of the transparent part of the building envelope (eg, reducing heat …

The resources involved in the construction and operation of buildings represent nearly 40%
of the global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), making the building sector one of the …

With the advent of window glass, its optical properties arise as one important factor in the
illumination, and thereby the visual perception, of Roman architecture. Computational …
