This research seeks for indicators and methods of characterization, evaluation, certification and/or accreditation of integrative litgting for indoor workplaces. We carried out an online three-stage Delphi study to select descriptors and indicators of integrative lighting: (I) consensus of descriptors, (II) consensus of indicators, (III) weighting of descriptors and indicators. This paper...

The design strategy of architect Zlatko Ugljen is explored through the analysis of three buildings. All three selected objects are sacral and are located in the territory of B&H. Through universality in approach and connecting tradition with a global language, a design language was created. The relationship with daylight plays a key role, both in the creation of volumes and in the formation of...

22. An automated (day)light admission system based on a generic office model: from the simulation workflow to preliminary results

Oral presentation

Automated daylight admission systems can adjust to varying lighting conditions and hence decrease the use of electrical lighting while improving user comfort. Several studies have shown in fact that manual control of shading systems often result in inadequate lighting conditions, as users tend to unregularly change the blind position throughout the day.

Among the reasons limiting the...

Inside-out daylight

Daylight has been a driver of urban and architectural form across climates. In the past century, metrics were introduced to describe performance such as minimum sunlight hours and the daylight factor. Means of assessment and related requirements were introduced in different contexts for sunlight/daylight. Some methods aimed to bridge the gap between inside-out such as the Vertical Sky...

Sports facilities have a crucial social, cultural, and morphological role in urbanization, in terms of indoor and outdoor spaces. The roots of sports go back to the Greek games. The purpose of these games was physical activity and mental cultivation and was associated with geographical conditions where sunshine and climate were operative. Over time daylight in sports started to become less...

Inside-out daylight

The correct use of natural lighting will depend on the study of the natural and urban conditions of a region. One of the main variables that determine the availability of natural light in a site is cloudiness, under each different type of condition of sky its dynamics will be different, identifying the frequency of this phenomenon and the predominant type of sky of a site, it is possible to...

Daylighting and solar control are fundamental aspects of building design, especially for modern architecture marked by large glazed building envelopes. Visual and thermal comfort, heat gains, and, ultimately, energy consumption can be controlled with the correct management of solar penetration, which has become an essential element of facade design aimed at decarbonizing the construction...

13. Aperture-Based Daylight Modelling: Forging the Link Between Inside-Outside Daylight Evaluation

Mardaljevic, John (Loughborough University)

Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

Inside-out daylight

The process that leads to the initial conception of the shape, form and size of a building (i.e. massing) is usually the starting point of an architectural design: the building is designed from the outside-in. Commonly used guidelines refer to quantities such as the vertical sky component determined at a point on the building envelope. Similarly for sunlight, the evaluation is carried out at...

Renovation of existing residential buildings is acknowledged as an important and effective measure to increase efficiency of the building stock and thus decreasing energy use and related GHG emissions. However, substituting the old windows with new, better insulating windows has an influence on daylight availability. Daylight and solar radiation have a well-known influence on human health, by...

Decision-making at gynaecological emergency room is highly important and quality care is fundamental. Combinations of distinctive features in a patient result in the recognition of a disease, and visual cues are particularly prone to misinterpretation. Furthermore, fatigue and circadian disruption can have a negative impact on the clinic. Research on daylighting in hospital environments has...

Dense urban spaces are strongly affected by the consequences of urban heat island effects and global warming. The pressing need for a sustainable urban metabolism necessitates the following query: To what extent can the understanding of micro-climate analysis in particular outdoor daylight studies drive an informed urban design approach in order mitigate the effect of urban heat islands in...

BACKGROUND
The restorativeness potential of Intermediate Environments (IE) is the focus of this research. IE range from courtyards, arcades, balconies to window-seats, offering retreat to the interior and contact with the exterior. IE promote prospect and refuge, with shelter, safety, diverse controllable environmental conditions, adaptable sociability, and relaxation opportunities....

The building sector currently accounts for around 40% of global energy use and GHG emissions and there has been significant research in the recent decade in several engineering disciplines to upgrade building performance with the minimum disturbance to the building interior conditions. As countries race to build climate resilience, the shift from low-density suburban to high-density urban has...

In 2021 an innovative new research platform to explore the basics, applied and clinical aspects of daylight on humans has been created. The “integrative Human Circadian Daylight Platform” (iHCDP) has the vision to improve general health, quality of life and living conditions across the live span by using daylight. For this purpose, the impact of daylight will be systematically assessed, and...

A chronic housing shortage combined with an increase of population in Sweden has led to a boom of new construction in the country´s cities. New developments are quickly being produced while spatial planning is still heavily reliant on traditional planning methods. Sweden constitutes an interesting case as densification is the preferred method to create more sustainable cities both financially...
