Posters addressing aspects of both tracks "inside daylight" and "insise - out daylight" will be displayed at the conference venue.
This research seeks for indicators and methods of characterization, evaluation, certification and/or accreditation of integrative litgting for indoor workplaces. We carried out an online three-stage Delphi study to select descriptors and indicators of integrative lighting: (I) consensus of descriptors, (II) consensus of indicators, (III) weighting of descriptors and indicators. This paper...
The design strategy of architect Zlatko Ugljen is explored through the analysis of three buildings. All three selected objects are sacral and are located in the territory of B&H. Through universality in approach and connecting tradition with a global language, a design language was created. The relationship with daylight plays a key role, both in the creation of volumes and in the formation of...
Automated daylight admission systems can adjust to varying lighting conditions and hence decrease the use of electrical lighting while improving user comfort. Several studies have shown in fact that manual control of shading systems often result in inadequate lighting conditions, as users tend to unregularly change the blind position throughout the day.
Among the reasons limiting the...
Daylight has been a driver of urban and architectural form across climates. In the past century, metrics were introduced to describe performance such as minimum sunlight hours and the daylight factor. Means of assessment and related requirements were introduced in different contexts for sunlight/daylight. Some methods aimed to bridge the gap between inside-out such as the Vertical Sky...
Sports facilities have a crucial social, cultural, and morphological role in urbanization, in terms of indoor and outdoor spaces. The roots of sports go back to the Greek games. The purpose of these games was physical activity and mental cultivation and was associated with geographical conditions where sunshine and climate were operative. Over time daylight in sports started to become less...
The correct use of natural lighting will depend on the study of the natural and urban conditions of a region. One of the main variables that determine the availability of natural light in a site is cloudiness, under each different type of condition of sky its dynamics will be different, identifying the frequency of this phenomenon and the predominant type of sky of a site, it is possible to...
Daylighting and solar control are fundamental aspects of building design, especially for modern architecture marked by large glazed building envelopes. Visual and thermal comfort, heat gains, and, ultimately, energy consumption can be controlled with the correct management of solar penetration, which has become an essential element of facade design aimed at decarbonizing the construction...
Decision-making at gynaecological emergency room is highly important and quality care is fundamental. Combinations of distinctive features in a patient result in the recognition of a disease, and visual cues are particularly prone to misinterpretation. Furthermore, fatigue and circadian disruption can have a negative impact on the clinic. Research on daylighting in hospital environments has...
