Parametrisch-geometrische modellen
Voor beoordeling van zonreflecties en andere bouwfysica-vraagstukken
Innovatieve software komt regelmatig op de markt, maar Rhinoceros-Grasshopper heeft een compleet nieuwe wereld aan mogelijkheden ontsloten. Ook voor de bouwfysicus is dit zeer relevant. Doordat gebruik wordt gemaakt van een intuïtieve, parametrische en grafische programmeertaal,

Creating drafts in urban settings through coloured façades
Exploring a new climate adaptation measure based on thermal stratification
Climate change will lead to more warm and hot days in the Netherlands. Climate adaptation measures are needed to reduce the vulnerability of urban areas. Moreover, proven adaptation measures, such as increased vegetated areas or water surfaces, are not always possible due to a la

The influence of building geometry on the physical urban climate
A revival of 'light, air and space'
The study presented in this paper is part of a PhD research titled 'Comfortable and Healthy Urban Environments'. This PhD research aims at gaining insight into the relationship between building densities, building patterns, building types on the one hand and the main aspects of t

De impact van het Collectiegebouw op de kinderpsychiatrische kliniek van het Erasmus MC-Sophia
Een onderzoek naar licht, uitzicht en visueel comfort
In dit rapport is de impact onderzocht die de bouw van het Collectiegebouw zou hebben op de Kinderkliniek van het Erasmus MC. Het onderzoek heeft zich gericht op een huiskamer, een leslokaal en twee plaatsen in de tuin. De gebruikte computerprogramma’s bij dit onderzoek zijn Rhin

The calculation of field-of-view luminance based metrics for visual discomfort from glare evaluation in real scenes via HDR (High Dynamic Range) luminance capture does generally require the use of wide view fisheye lenses. This paper presents an easy to implement and low-cost met

The ‘LIGHTVAN’ research aims to optimize the lighting design for healthy schools and modern senior housing and care homes with regards to the use of light as a cheap and important source of energy A multi-functional mobile light laboratory was built into a delivery van, the LIGH

The objective of the present study was to find how well a group of selected luminance-based metrics predict reported visual discomfort from daylight glare in spatial conditions that differ from the conditions where metrics tend to developed and validated for. An empirical study i

This paper reports on a pilot experiment to test the applicability of a group of metrics to the prediction of visual discomfort in a daylit classroom environment. In particular, if the position in relation to the window has an impact in the way visual discomfort from glare is rep

Daylight in offices
A comparison between the Dutch and European standards for daylight in buildings
The current Dutch standard for daylight in buildings does not assure good daylight quality.
Designers therefore often do not know when a building has good daylight quality and how they can design a visually comfortable and healthy building.
The new European standard for daylight

Urban Facades
Photocatalytic Building Envelope for Passive Remediation of Air Pollution
Air pollution is a worldwide prevailing issue affecting the health of human beings in urban areas requiring urgent measures to adopted. This graduation project targets on adoption of passive air remediation techniques that can be widely applied into urban areas. Within the passiv

The Light Field in practice
A study into the lower order properties of the light field and their influence on visual comfort in daylit office spaces
In the development of the lighting practice, progress has been made to eliminate bad lighting and to contribute to a visual comfortable scene. Metrics, and subsequent recommendations, have been established to provide uniform horizontal illuminance. In addition, performance-based

The building sector in Europe represents 40% of the energy consumption and, of this amount, 26% is represented by office buildings that demand 44% of the energy only for lighting. Therefore, architects and engineers have a big responsibility to find design strategies and technolo

Recently, sustainability is becoming a more important aspect in the building sector. The use of performance-driven approaches are progressively growing interest among architects and engineers. Proper design of a large span roof shading system can positively influence the micro-cl
