Sunlight profoundly influences the Earth's atmosphere and biosphere. Nature fuels the evolution of all living things, their visual systems, and the manner in which they adapt, accommodate, and habituate. Sun luminance measurements serve as data to calculate typical changes in the daily, monthly, and annual variability characteristics of daylight. Climate-based sky luminance patterns are used as models in predicting daylighting calculation and computer programs applied in architecture and building design. Historically, daylight science and daylighting technology has prioritized photometric methods of measurements, calculation, and graphical tools aimed at predicting or evaluating the daylight...
Worldwide attention to environmental issues combined with the energy crisis force us to reduce greenhouse emissions and increase the usage of renewable energy sources as a solution to providing an efficient environment. This book addresses the current issues of sustainable growth and applications in renewable energy sources. The fifteen chapters of the book have been divided into two sections to organize the information accessible to readers. The book provides a variety of material, for instance on policies aiming at the promotion of sustainable development and implementation aspects of RES.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2011 International Conference on Management, Manufacturing and Materials Engineering (ICMMM 2011), December 8-10, 2011, Zhengzhou, China
Autoři publikace se zaměřují na problematiku osvětlování interiérů denním světlem dopravovaným světlovody. Nabízejí přehled vývoje tubusových světlovodů, vysvětlují jejich optické vlastnosti, metody posuzování a analytické řešení návrhu. Náročnější čtenář může získat teoretické základy z řešení úloh přenosu světla tubusovými světlovody při různých světelných exteriérových podmínkách a méně náročný čtenář má možnost obeznámit se s jednoduššími postupy hodnocení osvětlení interiérů světlovody. Kniha je určena pro stavební inženýry, architekty, investory, stavební firmy, učitele a studenty vysokých odborných škol. Autoři jsou členy SAV v Bratislavě, VUT Brno, národního komitétu mezinárodní společnosti pro osvětlování CIE.
Energy efficient lighting is said to be one of the most cost-effective approaches to save energy and reduce C02 emissions. In order to stimulate the application of lighting retrofits of good quality, IEA Task 50, Subtask B “Daylighting and Electric Lighting solutions” has looked into the assessment of existing and new technical retrofit solutions in the field of façade and daylighting technology, electric lighting and lighting controls. The document provides information for those involved in the development of retrofit products or involved in the decision making process of a retrofit project, such as buildings owners, authorities, designers and consultants, as well as the lighting and f...
