  1. 11. Assessment of Daylighting and Electric Lighting Performance in a Retrofitting Project: A Case Study in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Xueting Wang; [2017]
    Keywords : Daylighting Assessment; Electric Lighting Assessment; Field Measurement; Lighting Simulation; Daylight Factor; Daylight Glare Probability; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Newly constructed building stocks have been decreasing in last decades; thus, renovation and retrofitting represent a large amount of opportunities to upgrade the building performance and energy efficiency of building assets in their life span, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An overall assessment of a lighting retrofit project can support to judge the quality of a retrofit as good or bad and evaluate the application of a retrofit measure in practice, as well as provide quantitatively based cases for future implementations.
