  2. 1. Daylighting Systems : Development of Techniques for Optical Characterization and Performance Evaluation

    Author : Annica M. Nilsson; Arne Roos; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Marie-Claude Dubois; Michael Köhl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Optical spectroscopy; integrating sphere; ray tracing; light scattering; window physics; Venetian blinds; core daylighting; optical characterization; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science;

    Abstract : Successful integration of daylighting systems requires the ability to predict their performance for given climates. In this dissertation, a bottom-up approach is applied to evaluate the optical performance of a selection of daylighting systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. NOUR - Daylighting and thermal effects of windows in desert houses

    Author : Djamel Ouahrani; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal simulation; Solar aspects; Housing architecture; Ghardaia; Desert; Daylighting simulation; Daylighting; Data collecting; Data analysis; Culture; Climate adaption; Algeria; Architecture; Traditional architecture; Windows; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur;

    Abstract : This study is on a combined effect of window, the daylighting and the thermal effects, in desert houses. It is comprised of two complementary studies. In the introduction a historical review on the development of use daylight has been carried out in order to place the case study in a historical perspective. READ MORE

  5. 3. Solar access indicators for urban planning

    Author : Agnieszka Czachura; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar access; urban planning; performance indicator; daylighting; sunlighting; neighbourhood; metric taxonomy; urban density;

    Abstract : Solar access describes the amount and distribution of sunlight in living environments. Access to sunlight is crucial for the health and sustainability of cities. It is vital for people and vegetation, and for energy production and conservation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Solar Shading for Low Energy Use and Daylight Quality in Offices: Simulations, Measurements and Design Tools

    Author : Marie-Claude Dubois; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; screens; venetian blinds; awnings; design tools; measurements; computer simulations; solar-protective glass; heating; cooling; visual comfort; daylighting; energy use; Shading devices; solar protection; Architecture; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; Energy research; Energiforskning;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of solar shading devices on energy use and daylight quality in office rooms. The impact on energy use is analysed through computer simulations with the dynamic energy simulation program Derob-LTH while the impact on daylight quality is investigated through measurements in full-scale experimental office rooms and simulations with the program Radiance.

  7. 5. Caving mechanisms for a non-daylighting orebody

    Author : Sraj Umar Banda; Jonny Sjöberg; Björn Nilsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sublevel caving; numerical analysis; laser scanning; seismic data; large-scale structure; rock mass characterization; failure mechanism; discontinuum modeling; continuum modeling; caving analysis; voronoi modeling; bonded block model; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : The sublevel caving mining method is a mass production method with potentially very low operational costs. The success of this method is dependent on, among other factors, the cavability of the orebody and the overlying rock mass. READ MORE
