In recent years, different types of solar shading devices have been proposed, depending on building orientation, location, window characteristics, etc. They can contribute to improve or worsen thermal and lighting performances both from an energy comfort point view. The present paper reports a critical analysis some studies that investigate devices' effects and/or performances. This article points out the difficulty in comparing results given lack uniformity between studies, since they...
Beyond vision, light influences human circadian rhythms and buildings' energy consumption. Design solutions are needed to satisfy visual requirements while minimizing lighting demands. By reflecting the incident radiation, inner surfaces influence spatial spectral distribution, affecting achieve task illuminance light-induced response. Here, walls' characteristics' impact on overall luminous environment power demands is analysed in a test room, combining seven colours three sources'...
Abstract Harnessing the appropriate radiative characteristics of buildings' external surfaces is a highly effective way to reduce internal space heating and cooling demand. Building energy-dynamic simulations are created in order compare various coatings with reference social housing case study typical Mediterranean climate (Naples, Italy). An innovative index, surface factor (SF), proposed inform choice most suitable as function local climatic conditions thereby overall energy For cities...
This paper reports the results of measurements performed in a test room to investigate impact using different wall colours and light scenes on indoor lighting quality. Eye level spectral irradiances were measured for user located inside seated at desk. These allow use Irradiance Toolbox, which makes it possible calculate equivalent illuminances photopigments human eye. Moreover, CIECAM02 colour appearance model was used variations hue chroma values when changing scene. The demonstrate that...
The evaluation of non-visual effects light is a crucial topic in lighting design research and practice. Performing such analysis requires precise information about the spectral distribution tested source. Assessing daylight complicated due to its composition continuously changing, depending on many factors. Currently there are no available databases with spatial radiation patterns sky vault for locations spread all over world, an easy common method evaluate lacking. goal paper provide simple...
In order to evaluate the circadian effects of light, an approach based only on a sensitivity function makes it possible easily obtain efficiency functions and action factors. However, does not take into account human response light stimuli, which is linear. Non-linear models are more sophisticated accurate but they easy apply. this paper proposal for way potential ‘circadian effects’ sources presented. Although model quite simple, results in good agreement with those obtained by means one...
