Building energy metering and environmental monitoring – A state-of-the-art review and directions for future research

Many countries around the world are confronted with the challenge of decreasing energy consumption, while the use of electrical appliances is continuously increasing in buildings The requirement to minimize the energy consumption can be fulfilled by revaluating architectural aspects One of these aspects is related to overheating problems, caused by facades with large, glazed portions In such designs, shading elements must carefully be integrated and considered at an early-design stage in the design process Shading of buildings is crucial especially in climates with hot summer It is significant to protect the window from solar radiation in summer while allowing maximum solar radiation in winter For this reason, precise figures of their performance are needed As such, simulation tools are often used for identifying the most suitable shading element that suits the building In literature, there are many studies that have been done to designate the energy performance of shading devices in buildings by using simulation tools This study focuses both on the shading device types used in the building sector and the previous studies done for designating the performance aspects of different shading devices types Numerous studies for different building types located in different climatic regions have been reviewed in order to underline the importance of simulation modeling for shading devices in buildings

The characteristics of photosensors and electronic dimming ballasts in daylight responsive dimming systems

The luminous environment in a space is one of the key factors affecting the occupants' work performance and mood. An illuminance value is quantitatively standardised and recommended for a specific space, but correlated colour temperature (CCT) is not. Although some studies on CCT conditions have shown that higher CCT conditions appear brighter to people than lower CCT conditions, other studies have indicated that there is no relationship between brightness perception and CCT conditions. This paper reports the results of two subjective evaluations of different CCTs on personal preferences: brightness perception, subjective impression and work performance; and describes suitable CCT conditions for a specific space and activities. One subjective evaluation (field test) was performed with four different CCT fluorescent lamps in an office space, and another (photo-image test) was performed with pictures under four different CCT conditions in an office, living room and bedroom. The results were statistically an...
