The important objective of a building must be to provide comfortable environment for people. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems environment, but they are using high energy consumption, therefore, designing an energy-efficient that balances performance thermal comfort is necessary. To achieve this subject choose the effective parameters performance. This research aim produc...

The sensitivity of the circadian pacemaker of the field mouse Mus booduga to diffuse daylight pulses of 15 min duration and 1000 lux intensity was measured in a series of experiments and a phase response curve (PRC) constructed. The PRC evoked was of type-I with significant quantitative differences compared to the PRCs constructed for other light stimuli (fluorescent and incandescent light sour...

Architects face the challenge of exploring various design solutions in early stage, often with conflicting optimization goals. To tackle this complexity, they need to rely on tools and methodologies during conceptual phase assess optimize designs, considering multiple aspects building performance. Parametric Design, Generative automation Building Information Modelling (BIM) offer architects new...

Daylight access in healthcare facilities is essential for creating comfortable ambiance conditions the patients during their accommodation a hospital. The aim of this paper to investigate how window size, location (Paralimni Cyprus and Brussels Belgium), room orientation patients’ gaze direction have an impact on visual non-visual effects. This research focuses hospitals’ most typical patient r...

Monte-Carlo simulations featuring Kolmogorov phase screens have long been used in understanding both the effects of atmospheric turbulence on imaging and the performance of turbulence mitigation methods. We have developed a new, high fidelity, non-Kolmogorov phase screen model that allows the orientation of anisotropy to vary arbitrarily. Our model is used to generate simulated video sequences ...

One of the important functions of window is to admit natural lightto interior spaces of buildings. This natural lighting in buildings helps to displace the requirement for artificial lighting, and thus, helps to save energy. Though daylight has positive effects on visual comfort, but high window luminance or direct sunlight from a window may cause discomfort. Visual discomfort in a day-lit inte...

Life in 24-h society relies on the use of artificial light at night that might disrupt synchronization of the endogenous circadian timing system to the solar day. This could have a negative impact on sleep-wake patterns and psychiatric symptoms. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of evening light emitted by domestic and work place lamps in a naturalistic setting on melatonin ...

Artificial lighting can increase a energy consumption. On the other hand, the availability of daylight in occupied spaces can reduce energy consumption while positively contributing to occupant wellbeing. However, daylight entering the space through windows needs to be reconciled with heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, which may affect thermal comfort. In this research, a gene...
