Towards microstructured glazing for daylighting and thermal control

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Mario Geiger

Glass is a central element to modern architecture and can cover up to 100% of a building façade. The main purpose of large glazed areas is to create bright, comfortable and healthy spaces. It was shown that increasing natural light in offices reduces sickn ...

Performance of Anidolic Daylighting Systems in tropical climates – Parametric studies for identification of main influencing factors

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf

Making daylight more available in buildings is highly desirable, not only for reasons of energy-efficiency, but also for improvement of occupants’ health and well-being. Core-daylighting, that is daylight provision in areas situated at considerable distanc ...

Visual Discomfort and Glare Rating Assessment of Integrated Daylighting and Electric Lighting Systems using HDR Imaging Techniques

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Apiparn Borisuit

The combined integration of daylighting and electric lighting systems within buildings --also designated by the term “Green lighting”, which is a recent issue for the lighting research community-- allows achieving better lighting conditions for building oc ...

Ray tracing study for non-imaging daylight collectors

Raphaël Compagnon, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf, Lars Oliver Grobe

This paper presents a novel method to study how well non-imaging daylight collectors pipe diffuse daylight into long horizontal funnels for illuminating deep buildings. Forward ray tracing is used to derive luminous intensity distributions curves (LIDC) of ...

Modelling Complex Fenestration Systems using physical and virtual models

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Physical or virtual models are commonly used to visualize the conceptual ideas of architects, lighting designers and researchers; they are also employed to assess the daylighting performance of buildings, particularly in cases where Complex Fenestration Sy ...

A rules of thumb-based design sequence for diffuse daylight

Jean-Louis Scartezzini

This paper proposes and validates a daylighting design sequence for sidelit spaces. Since the design sequence uses the daylight factor as a performance metric, it is aimed towards spaces that primarily receive diffuse daylight. It should be complemented by ...

Daylight Exposure and Circadian Efficiency in Office Rooms Equipped with Anidolic Daylighting Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart, Mirjam Münch

Anidolic Daylighting Systems (ADS) typically reduce the daylight flux reaching an office room‟s window section and increase it in the rear of the room. They offer interesting possibilities for the combination of comfortable daylighting and highly energy-ef ...

A generalised stochastic model for the simulation of occupant presence

Nicolas Morel, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

This paper describes an algorithm for the simulation of occupant presence, to be later used as an input for future occupant behaviour models within building simulation tools. By considering occupant presence as an inhomogeneous Markov chain interrupted by ...

Facade Integration of Solar Thermal Collectors: A Breakthrough?

Christian Roecker, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Estelle De Chambrier, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

One main barrier to the acceptability of façade use of solar thermal collectors is their black appearance and the visibility of piping or absorber irregularities through the glazing. To facilitate façade integration, a project was set up to develop selecti ...
