1. 1. Benefits of passive solar shading devices in Swedish climate scenarios. Integrated daylight and energy study.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Agnieszka Czachura; [2019]
   Keywords : solar shadings; sustainability; buildings; daylight; energy use; glare; thermal visual comfort; free cooling; Sweden; performance prediction methods; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. Buildings hold the biggest share of the world’s energy use, and current climate crisis can exacerbate future need for cooling. READ MORE

3. 2. Adaptive facade, the active connection between indoor and outdoor

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Chenhong Wang; Angel Asis Perez Morata; [2019]
   Keywords : Adaptive facade; thermal and visual comfort; indoor and outdoor environment; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study explores the connection between the indoor and outdoor environment and how through the use of shading devices they affect each other. The chosen location for the study is a well-known street in the urban context of Copenhagen. READ MORE

4. 3. Sensitivity analysis of important parameters affecting daylight - Assessment of a typical cellular office in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Danai Vogiatzi; [2018]
   Keywords : daylight; office; dynamic metrics; static metrics; orientation; glazing transmittance; surface reflectance; window size; shape; position; number and niche; obstruction angle; sensitivity analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis was the impact evaluation of several parameters affecting daylight conditions in a typical cellular office in Lund, Sweden. The research approach that was followed consisted of three distinct steps; the literature review in order to specify the dependent and independent variables of the study, the simulation part to produce daylight performance data and the graphical analysis as interpretation of the data produced.

5. 4. A concept to evaluate dynamic daylight glare

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Efthymia Eirini Tsianaka; [2018]
   Keywords : glare; daylight; zonal; long-term; adaptation possibility; TPG; STG; directional glare; weighting system; dynamic; visual comfort; fenestration system; Arts and Architecture; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A method towards a dynamic daylight glare evaluation in the early stage of design was developed in this thesis, using existing glare metrics under multiple observer positions and gazes. The results pointed out that it is possible for a zonal characterization regarding glare sensation to be achieved with the combination of multiple existing metrics and a weighting system, named the adaptation possibility.

6. 5. An early design tool/method for assessing the performance of complex fenestration systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Anton Hendrix; Dimosthenis Arampatzis; [2017]
   Keywords : Design tool; Glazing; Shading; User predictability; Solar gains; View; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : It is common knowledge that shading systems and solar control glasses are used to avoid glare and overheating at expenses of daylight. In Dynamic Thermal Modelling tools, there is no assessment method where the shading use is expressed when predicting the building performance. READ MORE
