daylight in classrooms is a critical factor in school design, in terms of its impact on students’ health, learning and visual performance. providing adequate amount of evenly distributed daylight and glare prevention are important challenges in classroom design. window configuration significantly affects the intensity and uniformity of daylight. this paper aims to investigate the effect of wind...

The plant always exchanges the energy and material from the environment interactively (the photosynthesis effect and breathing effect) to supply the nutrient for maintaining the life of itself. The “heat” and “light” from sun are the key factors. This study, was attempted to analyze the characteristics of sunlight (illumination and wavelength on the leaf surface), and then to develop a hybrid l...

Good daylighting design in buildings not only provides a comfortable luminous environment, but also delivers energy savings and comfortable and healthy environments for building occupants. The importance of using daylight in educational buildings is because of the synchrony of operating hours of the school and daylight plenitude the sky. Daylight improves environmental quality and saves energy ...

This work reviews the effect of parametric programming on visual performance, daylighting and shading in office buildings in Tehran-Iran and studies their influences that help not only to reduce the glare but also to promote useful daylight illuminance through promoting visual comfort. It starts by establishing a review of the effective parameters on visual comfort indices, glare indices, and d...

Typical daylight extends from blue (morning sky) to orangey red (evening sky) and is represented mathematically as the Daylight Locus in color space. In this study, we investigate the impact of this daylight variation on human color vision. Thirty-eight color normal human observers performed an asymmetric color match in the near peripheral visual field. Unique hues were identified using a namin...
