  1. 1. Evaluation of Swedish daylight regulations in university building - Validation and applicability

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Cédric Berthou; [2024]
    Keywords : Daylight; Sweden; University building; modelling; Grasshopper; building performance simulation; Dagsljus; svenska föreskrifter; universitetsbyggnad; 3D-modellering; Grasshopper;

    Abstract : Daylight availability in buildings faces numerous challenges in a world where energy efficiency,thermal comfort, and sustainability take center stage. Daylight is well-known for its role in reducingartificial lighting consumption and enhancing the well-being and performance of building occupants. READ MORE

  3. 2. Building Orientation and Non-Image Forming Effects of Light. Connecting Simulation and reality in the case of Iggesund School.

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Gregor Ruta; [2022]
    Keywords : Alfa-Opic Metrics; Spectral Diet; OWL – Occupant Well-being through Lighting; Chronobiology; Daylight; Circadian Rhythmes; Melatonin; Vision;

    Abstract : In recent years there has been an increase in the number of apartments in Sweden. The officials are estimating that approximately 1000 primary schools need to be built to meet the 20% increase in students. Facing the rising demand; my thesis makes a contribution to sustainable school design via optimisation of the building orientation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Improving visual comfort and energy efficiency in a classroom : A comparative approach of evaluating a lighting design technique and a sensor positioning method

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Anton Sanaei; [2021]
    Keywords : Visual comfort; Energy efficiency; Light sensor;

    Abstract : The reduction of energy demand and increased energy efficiency is believed to play a major role in tackling the global climate change. Artificial lighting systems in commercial buildings accounts for a substantial proportion of the total energy consumption. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design, implementation and evaluation of a daylight estimation tool using 3D city model data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Peter Nezval; [2021]
    Keywords : 3D city model; CityJSON; solar energy; free and open-source software; 3D feature extraction; solar urban planning; sustainable urban development; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Solar energy is an important component of sustainable urban development. However, it is still not reaching its full potential due to several reasons. One of them is a lack of free tools based on open geodata capable of estimating solar energy (daylight) metrics on building features, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Impact of Late Design Choices on Daylight and Energy Use in Buildings

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

    Author : Oscar Bálint Palmgren; Duy Tan Tran; [2021]
    Keywords : Global Sensitivity Analysis; Parametric Design; Architecture; Building Engineering; Daylight; Energy Use.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. READ MORE
