(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...
-
(2020-05-21)The outcome of this study is the development of a prototype REVIT2RADIANCE add-in program for a Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tool Autodesk Revit to perform daylighting studies with ease by architects and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)To the extent that daylight can be effectively admitted and distributed in large buildings, daylighting can reduce dependence on artificial light and conserve energy. Effective in all climates, an atrium can serve more ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This research investigates the effects of daylighting in an existing elementary school in College Station, Texas. The conclusions are generalizable to similar school designs in hot and humid climates. This study focuses ...

This paper explores ways of letting users interact with daylighting spaces in a virtual reality (VR) environment. Two methods for viewing daylighting in VR are presented, both of which use a physically-based raytracer to ...
-
(Passive Low Energy Architecture, 2020-09-01)This paper demonstrates that it is possible to achieve 3 daylight credits of Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design version 4 (LEED v4) in all latitudes and orientations. This study uses a space with sidelight windows ...
-
(ASHRAE, 2017)Thermal and visual comfort are often listed by occupants as the most important requirements for indoor environmental quality. Leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), as an internationally recognized rating ...
-
(2017-06-17)This paper presents the design, development and construction process of an experimental rotating room to study the performance of complex fenestration systems (CFS). The room, of 600 ft2 represents a workspace of 20 ft ...
-
(2019-08-14)The use of large glazed façades in buildings can cause a disabling glare that can impair the vision of the occupants of surrounding buildings. In order to avoid glare, building occupants tend to close their blinds and ...
-
(2017-06-05)The research project presented in this paper explores the benefits of utilizing a hybrid workstation in a daylight design application. The prototype developed for this work links a physical design object with digital ...
-
(2015-12-08)The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a life-defining place for premature infants and other newborns with serious health conditions. The demand for newborn intensive care has been increasing in the recent years, but ...
-
(2019-04-05)The purpose of this research is to examine the degree of adoption and education of the concepts of natural systems for heating, cooling, and lighting (i.e., passive systems) versus artificial/mechanical systems (i.e., ...
