Daylight and carbon interactions: An explorative method to reconcile daylight performance and carbon budget constraints

Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi

Existing daylight standards encourage larger glazed areas, which often results in larger solar gains in the summer and heat losses in the winter. To avoid these, shadings, thicker frames and multiple panes of glass are required to respect operational energ ...

Towards a framework for light-dosimetry studies: Quantification metrics

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Light dosimetry aims to measure personal light exposure with wearable sensors, which is a complex multistep procedure. The resulting data may be used to investigate non-visual effects of light in real-life settings, to validate laboratory findings and answ ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Kynthia Chamilothori, Caroline Karmann, Bahar Aydemir

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...

Design of a light confining concentrator for a solar photochemical reactor and upper bound to the method

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

Optical concentration obtained by light confinement bears unique features that can increase the efficiency of a photochemical reactor. A suitable implementation of this method for a solar reactor is a series of parallel tubular receivers sealed in a slab-s ...

Review and critical analysis of early-design phase evaluation metrics for the solar potential of neighborhood designs

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Émilie Nault, Giuseppe Peronato

The energy performance of a building is strongly influenced by its level of solar exposure, in turn affected by the climate, built context, and building morphological characteristics. Since these are typically fixed at the early- design phase, performance ...

Origin and nature of measurement bias in catadioptric parallel goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We briefly categorize and compare parallel goniophotometers, which are instruments capable of simultaneously measuring the far-field distribution of light scattered by a surface or emitted by a source over a large solid angle. Little is known about the acc ...

Development and test application of the UrbanSOLve decision-support prototype for early-stage neighborhood design

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault

The need for adequate instruments to support practitioners toward achieving sustainable and energy-efficient architectural and urban design has long been acknowledged. Motivated by identified shortcomings of building performance assessment tools for concep ...

Efficient Simulation for Visual Comfort Evaluations

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Stephen William Wasilewski

This paper provides a validation of a novel sampling, storage, and evaluation method named raytraverse that can quickly and accurately compute glare and visual comfort metrics including vertical illuminance, Daylight Glare Probability (DGP), and Unified Gl ...

Perceived and yet not seen: non-visual effects in daylit spaces

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

Findings from neuroscience are increasingly interwoven with architectural research (1,2). Understanding physiological responses to environmental stimuli in the built environment is critical when evaluating occupant health and wellbeing. Research in the fie ...

The influence of façade and space design on building occupants’ indoor experience

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore

Existing research on user’s satisfaction at the workplace have shown that occupants’ perceived comfort depends on a number of environmental and non-environmental factors and that forgiveness, meant as the indulgent attitude towards inadequate indoor enviro ...

Comparison between CIE 2° and 10° field photopic luminosity functions V(λ) for calculating daylight discomfort glare metrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

The spectral sensitivity of the average human eye in photopic conditions is represented by the photopic luminosity function V (λ). The CIE has established the photopic luminosity functions for the 2o and 10o visual fields for a standard observer applicable ...

The Low-Mass Initial Mass Function In The 30 Doradus Starburst Cluster

Marilyne Andersen, Georges Meylan

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS 2 F160W band observations of the central 56 '' x 57 '' (14 pc x 14.25 pc) region around R136 in the starburst cluster 30Dor (NGC 2070) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our aim is to derive the stellar ini ...

Studying the Dynamic Relationship between Energy Supply Carbon Content and Building Energy Demand

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Stefano Cozza

Due to different temporal combinations of energy generation processes, the global warming potential (GWP) of energy supply evolves constantly. Despite this, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the energy consumption in buildings are commonly asse ...

Global Environmental Stimuli and Human-Building Interaction in Open Space Offices: A Swiss Case Study

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Dolaana Khovalyg, Dusan Licina, Caroline Karmann, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Arnab Chatterjee, Maria Viviana Gonzalez Serrano

Office employees are exposed to a variety of environmental and contextual stimuli that might drive them to perform control actions, such as operating windows or window blinds. These actions have a significant impact on building energy use and increase unce ...

A Critical Literature Review of Spatio-temporal Simulation Methods for Daylight Glare Assessment

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Stephen William Wasilewski

A well daylighted space can provide a highly satisfying visual environment. However, if that environment causes us visual discomfort, it can become such a nuisance that we, sometimes literally, turn our backs on this powerful connection to the outside worl ...

Human perceptions of daylight composition in architecture: a preliminary study to compare quantitative contrast measures with subjective user assessments in HDR renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...

Identification of Spectral Distributions in Light-Dosimetry Data: Methodology and Application to an Intervention Field Study

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Modern life in predominantly indoor environments has led to a profound alteration in the amount, spectral distribution, and pattern of light humans are exposed to daily. Given the role of light in health and well-being, and to understand how modern living ...
