Designing Natural Atmosphere in Office Environment Through Daylight Responsive Dynamic Lighting

A Hybrid System for Daylight-responsive Lighting Control

This paper argues that analytical approaches (i.e., simulation) and inductive learning methods (i.e., neural networks) can cooperate to facilitate a daylight responsive lighting control strategy. Multiple hybrid controllers are designed to meet four control goals: enriching the informational repertoire of systems control operations for lighting (by inclusion of performance indicators for glare ...

Intelligent Office Lighting: Demand-Responsive Conditioning and Increased User Satisfaction

Energy Conservation using Daylight Energy Transfer through Windows : Case of Office Buildings

The exterior envelope of buildings play a significant role on the amount of energy consumption in office buildings that are located in warm climates. The present study focuses on the reduction of energy consumption by integrating daylight and artificial lights, and by changing the characteristics of exterior envelope of buildings including window coverage and dimension of buildings. Moreover, t...

Designing safer health care through responsive regulation.

Self-regulation by the health professions, while improving, is no longer enough; external drivers for safer health care include governments, funders and consumers. Enforced self-regulation is often more promising than a "command and control" strategy. Research evidence on the responsive regulatory pyramid and its options offers lessons for health care policy makers and managers. Start at the ba...

Condensation and Water Drops Formation due to Endothermic Reaction by Laser Pulse through Natural Lighting Phenomena in the atmosphere

After lightning, precipitation formed, these lightning phenomena occur in the atmosphere by high power laser pulse. After striking the laser pulse, condensation and water drop formation take place in the atmosphere. It is well known that, for water drop formation, condensation must occurred (condensation is the basic need for water drops formation).Condensation means, heat energy subtraction. H...
