• Abstract

  Daylight availability data for any location are essential to help, from a quantitative standpoint, architecture projects that seek to address the daylight as the primary light source in buildings, having in view energy, sustainability and health concerns. As such data are rare in Brazil, this research aims to take measurements to identify possible correlations between global solar radiati…

• Abstract

  The benefits of daylight in buildings are well known: quality of lighting incomparably superior to electrical lighting sources, reduction of electricity consumption, and positive impact on productivity, well-being, comfort, and health of users. Such benefits justify the inclusion of issues related to the use of daylight in the early stages of the architectural project when important build…

• Abstract

  The harmonic proportions, throughout the history of architecture, have been considered able to attribute to buildings beauty and plastic quality.This research intends to investigate if these relations of proportion are also appropriate to achieve a more efficient harnessing of natural light.Due to its importance to the energy balance of buildings, both for being a parameter by itself, as …

• Abstract

  The performance of industrial employees is directly related with health and environmental factors associated to workplace, as example lighting and absenteeism rates, although, such links are still not well understood. Light interferes on satisfaction with work and influences important biological functions in humans. High illuminance at eyes level can increase visual activities, alertness …
