Recently there has been a growing interest in the selection of product colors for design engineering purposes and for quality control. The selection is generally based on color samples and the quality control is carried out with specific measurement instruments. In low quantity production it is common to avoid instrumental color measurement using human control personnel instead. For such subjec...

Bangunan Rumah tradisional Aceh ( Krong bade ) memiliki tiga ruangan utama, setiap tersebut tingkat kualitas pencahayaan alami yang berbeda. Penelitian ini melakukan investigasi Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) pada ruang rerkait dengan konfigurasi ruangan, bukaan serta iklim disuatu daerah. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk menganalisa performa menggunakan simulasi Climate Based Modeling (CBDM) Ho...

This paper traces the historical development of different daylighting calculation methods. Over the years there have been several developments in daylighting calculation methods. The last two decades have seen a number of new ideas and approaches in daylight calculation procedures. Recently, selected methods have been incorporated into the building energy performance simulation tools. This pape...

Light holds an important place in the way of life humans. The first type lighting which could be exploited was daylight. Tubular Daylight Guidance Systems (TDGS) transport and distribute this daylight inside a building. This article focuses on one best known: Mirrored Pipe. MLPs are multiple specular reflectance transporters. paper presents (i) state art thermal spectral studies light pipes fro...

This paper investigates novel computational methods for Regenerative Design by developing further on the European Daylight Standard EN 17037, to make it useful at both urban and architectural scales. Case studies are evaluated sunlight, daylight quality views. A method, compliant with is introduced evaluation of sunlight. An assessment metrics, an office building in Helsinki, a 300 lux target, ...

Daylight photodynamic therapy has been used in countries with high latitudes during the summer for actinic keratoses treatment with reports of similar efficacy to conventional photodynamic therapy. We evaluate its safety in 20 patients in the city of Fortaleza, a local with low latitude and high brightness. Sixteen patients did not report any discomfort due to the procedure. Daylight photodynam...
