“…Bended light pipes have been studied for both direct and diffuse light concluding that for the angled entrance part, accumulated yearly light output was higher than for the straight pipes due to the larger sun-facing area [100], but bends in pipes body inside the building should be avoided due to the increasing number of interreflections and decreasing efficiency [83,101,102]. Many theoretical and experimental studies addressed different pipe configurations aiming to find calculation models [103,95,[104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111], resulting in more information on weather and design parameter dependence. Vertical light pipes give high and excessive luminous output when Sun's altitude and azimuth are nearly axillary and beam light propagates with minimal interreflections, while diffuse skylight gives uniform luminance with homogenous output during the daylight hours.…”

“…HOLIGLIM was evaluated in light pipe studies for overcast and clear sky conditions [105,103]. A new analytical method, which analyzes the contribution of the direct and diffuse light separately was recently introduced [108]. Many computer-based simulation methods were developed and validated in building simulation tools [149].…”

“…Since the first set of light tube system products was put into application, light tube technology has been relatively mature after decades of development. Recently, researchers have explored more detailed research on the application of light tubes [2][3][4][5]. Another scheme, the optical fiber light guide [6], has advantages such as high illumination intensity, flexible light transmission, small space occupancy and so on.…”

“…Even if the sky is homogeneous the luminous intensity solid can have peaks due to imperfections in the interior surface of the tube, for example after accumulation of dirt. HOLIGILM has been used in a number of other studies (Petržala, Kocifaj and Kómar, 2018;Tsang et al, 2018) Chirarattananon et al (2010 also developed a model that calculates the transmittance of a light pipe, with or without bends, depending on the type of sky.…”
