The building sector accounts for 40% of global energy consumption, and artificial lighting is
a contributory factor. An approach to resolving lighting issues is daylighting. For daylight to …

Contemporary societies have shifted their focus towards sustainable and resilient public
buildings, transcending the institutional and functional role of the physical structures. School …

Abstract The integration of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) into building design is
a growing trend driven by the need to address global food security and urbanization …

Daylighting is recognized as an important and useful strategy in the design of energy
efficient buildings. Daylight is still the best source of light for good colour rendering and …

Daylight has a significant role for energy conservation in buildings. Luminous efficacy
models have been applied by many researchers to estimate the illuminance level from …

This paper presents a new simple luminous efficacy model for global horizontal irradiance.
The objective is to derive values of outdoor global horizontal illuminance data from typical …

When assessing the long-term daylight availability or the performance of natural lighting
systems in a given location, it is necessary to have representative data of local daylight …

This study explores comprehensive research on the prevalence of energy poverty in
housing stock in Tirana, highlighting the vulnerability of households and providing potential …

Three luminous efficacy models namely Perez model, Muneer–Kinghorn model, and
Littlefair model have been evaluated against measured solar illuminance and solar …

Harnessing daylight for energy-efficient designs requires the availability of daylight
illuminance data. In the absence of measured daylight data, deriving daylight using the …
