Abstract:The potential of daylight harvesting is related to the building location. However, climatic zonings adopted by energy efficiency programs focus only on the thermal performance, neglecting important variables of the buildings’ luminous performance. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the angle of solar incidence, the annual occurrence of clear sky, and the annual lighting energy consumption when daylight harvesting is practiced. The lighting consumption of a square floor space, orientated in… Show more
