Climate-based modelling delivers predictions of absolute quantities (e.g. illuminance) that are dependent both on the locale (i.e. geographically-specific climate data is used) and the building orientation (i.e. the illuminat… text/html 2012-11-14T11:42:28+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.mardaljevic.org/doku.php?id=academic:daylight-compliance&rev=1352893348&do=diff Daylight and Compliance While there is a great deal of attention paid to the goal of providing well-daylit spaces in our buildings, our ability to describe the parameters of “a well-daylit space” have not progressed in the past few decades. Daylight illumination levels in a space are dynamic, constantly changing both in intensity and spatial distribution pattern as the two variable sources of daylight - the sun and the sky - interact with the geometry and physical properties of the space, th… text/html 2012-10-23T15:55:17+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.mardaljevic.org/doku.php?id=academic:phds&rev=1351007717&do=diff PhD Opportunities in CBDM Climate-Based Daylight Modelling (CBDM) provides numerous opportunities for highly original PhD projects at the cutting-edge of daylighting research.

Daylight metrics and energy savings. Lighting Res.

Current metrics do not account for the temporal and spatial aspects of daylight, nor of occupants comfort… text/html 2012-10-23T15:55:18+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.mardaljevic.org/doku.php?id=academic:research-overview&rev=1351007718&do=diff Overview Validation of illuminance predictions from lighting simulation programs * The BRE-IDMP validation dataset was used to test Radiance predictions. * Comparison of predictions with measurements in full size offices under real sky conditions. text/html 2013-05-10T15:13:27+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.mardaljevic.org/doku.php?id=academic:rights-of-light&rev=1368198807&do=diff 'Rights of Light' and Daylight Injury Government rethink right to light planning law BBC News Report 20 Feb 2013 Law Commission Background Right to light is a form of easement in English law that gives a long-standing owner of a building with windows a right to maintain the level of illumination.

The simulation approach proved to be highly scaleable and CBDM has found applicability for a wide range of urban design issues operating across all relevant architectural scales from individual window details to entire 3D city models.
