Lighting can be better integrated to the architectural design process through computational tools that are capable enough to visualize and analyze the luminous environment accurately. This paper describes an image-based lighting analysis procedure that operates with high dynamic range lighting data for evaluating architectural spaces. The discussions mainly refer to visual and metrological aspe...

the aim of designing the education spaces is to providing the required spatial relationships for education processes. it means that the spaces and equipment which are required in every field, how and by the which discipline thy have been arranged to offer the final aim of education in advance, is the achievements of providing the education spaces management. the purpose of study is to evaluate ...

Artificial lighting accounts for approximately twenty to twenty five percent of all electrical energy usage in the United States. This is surpassed only by the energy consumption of electric machinery. Artificial lighting is a requisite for virtually all activities in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Whether it is in the area of design, manufacture, application, maintenance, or...

This paper presents a design for intelligent control system of scene adaptive semiconductor lighting. The new design contains the host computer and the terminal in a control network. The lighting effect patterns are edited by the software on the host computer, then the lighting scene data is transported to the terminal through network. The terminal is a sub-controller based on the embedded syst...

Daylight in buildings is both aesthetically pleasing and a sustainable means of offsetting costs for space conditioning and electric lighting. However, poor use of daylight can cause glare that impedes worker productivity. Traditional means of predicting lighting levels for indoor spaces through simulation are timeconsuming, which inhibits exploration of daylighting potential in new buildings. ...
