The Kyoto Protocol and the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive put an onus on governments and organisations to lower carbon footprint in order to contribute towards reducing global warming. A key parameter to be considered in buildings towards energy and cost savings is its indoor lighting that has a major impact on overall energy usage and Carbon Dioxide emissions. Lighting cont...

Every biological or artificial visual system faces the problem that images are highly ambiguous, in the sense that every image depicts an infinite number of possible 3D arrangements of shapes, surface colors, and light sources. When estimating 3D shape from shading, the human visual system partly resolves this ambiguity by relying on the light-from-above prior, an assumption that light comes fr...

it is accepted that the visual comfort in schools depends on the quality of the whole visual environment. this leads to the concern upon the quality and quantity of lighting. currently in iran, in order to calculate energy transfer for public buildings a coefficient is usually used. this coefficient considers the rate of sunlight energy absorption in these kinds of buildings. to increase the de...

results the results show the artificial lighting obtained by difference methods of the overall lighting from natural lighting in closed blinds mode equal to 266 lux and night lighting 283.5 lux that they have no significant differences with each other (p = 0.269). as well as the illumination intensity obtained from a standard grid method is 283.5 lux and illumination intensity based on luminair...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of increasing lighting after peak production on eggs production and hatchable eggs in broiler breeder hubbard f15. in this research we used from 4 growing saloons, that in per saloons were 5250 hubbards broiler breeder hens. in this experiment we used by line design way of glm for analysed data, that we considered the effects of two parameters, ...

Background: Lighting is a basic need for human beings and affects their physical, physiological, and psychological behavior. The required level of lighting for visual performance must be provided in order to ensure health and wellbeing. Students spend much of their time studying in libraries, and thus, sufficient lighting is necessary in libraries. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to...
