Development of an extremely concentrated solar energy delivery system using silica optical fiber bundle for deployment of solar energy: Daylighting to photocatalytic wastewater treatment
(2021-01-15)
The effective utilization of solar energy is a big challenge as global energy demand is increasing sharply. In this paper, we present the details of design of an extremely concentrated solar energy delivery system (ECoSEnDS) ...
An approach to urban tree daylight permeability simulation using models based on louvers
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
In oasis cities urban forestation shades the lower level facades of buildings. It is thus crucial to analyze the distributional patterns of sun radiation produced by trees on facades. Nevertheless, the complexity of the ...
Roller blinds characterization assessing discomfort glare, view outside and useful daylight illuminance with the sun in the field of view
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-01-01)
This research presents an experiment where the relationship between view outside (VO), daylight availability (DA) and glare protection (GP) of nine shading fabrics were evaluated. This kind of shading device is placed on ...
Comparative Investigation of Daylight Glare Probability comfort classes in clear sky condition
(SolarLits, 2021-12)
Glare is considered one of the most important variables to reach visual comfort and visual quality. It represents one of the fundamental barriers for an effective use of daylighting in buildings. One of the best performing ...
A new type of daylight passive collector: The shaped refractor
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2011-09)
In order to satisfy the requirements of energy-saving and lighting comfort in places which have no direct access to daylight through windows, it is possible to set up an optical rod daylighting system. However, there is ...

(Federacion Asociaciones Ingenieros Industriales Espana, 2015-07)
Día a día, hombres y mujeres se desenvuelven en ambientes en los que predomina la iluminación artificial de bajo consumo. Para contrarrestar esta situación, es posible utilizar sistemas de iluminación natural para el ...
Effects of perceived indoor temperature on daylight glare perception
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-11)
This research investigates the effects of perceived indoor temperature on glare sensation. A laboratory experiment was carried out where volunteers (nº 19) performed an office-like computer task. Three scenarios with ...
Lighting preferences in individual offices
(Associação Nacional de Tecnologia do Ambiente Construído - ANTAC, 2017-03-01)
Abstract Workplaces with good daylighting offer visual comfort to users, give them a series of physiological and psychological benefits and allow good performance of visual activities, besides saving energy. However, this ...
