Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...
The lighting environment at indoor workplaces is important not only to provide vision and visual comfort, but also for light's direct influence on human physiology, cognitive performance and mood. The purpose of this ongoing study is to investigate the imp ...
Automated shading systems have the potential to exploit daylight in buildings to save energy of artificial lighting and cooling loads and improve occupants'f visual comfort. This paper investigates the daylighting performance of automated Venetian blinds b ...
Calibrated climate-based lighting simulation models of buildings have the capacity to perform an essential role in postoccupancy evaluations, such as annual frequency assessments of daylighting quality and visual discomfort. However, in most postoccupancy ...
Advances in renewable and sustainable energy technologies critically depend on our ability to design and realize materials with optimal properties. Materials discovery and design efforts ideally involve close coupling between materials prediction, synthesi ...
