“…Out of 28 measured locations ( Table 7), four of the LED displays were broken (location no. : 1,5,7,16), so values of vertical luminance could not be measured. No pre-curfew times were observed, nor were there strict requirements of luminance levels applied to control obstructive light.…”

“…As LED lighting is considered more energy efficient, adaptable, and cheaper to operate than older light sources, it is already in use in street lighting retrofit projects [7][8][9], historical urban settings [10], facade illumination [11,12], landscape lighting [13], in trials for a smart city [14], and as animated LED video advertisement displays in different forms applied to buildings [15]. According to market estimates and forecasts, the future trend of global LED video display technology will grow around 35% over the next decade, reaching approximately $73 billion by 2025 [16].…”

Urban environments have become significantly brighter and more illuminated, and cities now consider media architecture and non-static, self-luminous LED displays an essential element of their strategy to attract residents, visitors, and tourists in the hours after dark. Unfortunately, most often, they are not designed with care, consideration, and awareness, nor do they support the visual wellbeing and circadian rhythms of humans. They also increase light pollution which has an adverse effect on the environment. The aim of this study was to estimate the scale of the negative impact of 28 non-static, self-luminous LED shop window displays within a real-life city context along the main shopping street Banhofstrasse in Zurich, Switzerland. An experimental field measurement survey investigation was performed to identify visual luminance with commonly available tools such as a luminance meter and a digital reflex camera for luminance photography. Moreover, the most important global approaches to reduce light pollution were evaluated in the form of existing guidelines, technical standards, and laws, all of which should be considered when specifying illuminated digital advertisements. A literature review and survey results both confirmed the extent of the problem and highlighted, too, the need to better measure, apply, and manage this new technology. The authors’ proposal for improvements involve practical recommendations for the design and implementation of future projects which can positively guide and direct this growing trend.

“…Metodologias mais complexas podem ser utilizadas, considerando a incerteza do valor da tarifa de energia, bem como a variação dos valores de moeda, Por exemplo, a flutuação do kWh em cada mês devido à sazonalidade da matriz energética brasileira e por alterações nas tributações federais e estaduais na conta de luz, percebe-se então que este tempo de retorno pode sofrer alterações. Campisi et al (2018) utilizaram para calcular os possíveis custos e economias para adoção de luminárias LED para substituição de lâmpadas convencionais na cidade de Roma, na Itália. O valor econômico obtido da análise de opções reais considerou as fontes de incerteza e forneceram resultados mais realistas, desta forma, foi maior do que o obtido a partir de metodologias convencionais, porque estas últimas não consideram algumas flexibilidades do projeto.…”

“…Special attention requires the relation between expected investment activity returns and the yield probability. This problem has been treated in the studies of Campisi et al (2017) and Campisi et al (2018), with particular focus on renewable energy. Namely, the renewable energy sector is very important regarding the present and future of the Republic of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary, in particular, especially having in mind the recent objectives of European Union.…”

“…Namely, the renewable energy sector is very important regarding the present and future of the Republic of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary, in particular, especially having in mind the recent objectives of European Union. Thus, real options are used to evaluate the economic cost-saving considering price uncertainty and multi-stage investment (Campisi et al, 2018). Also, the investment costs still present a major barrier and adequate evaluation models (Campisi et al, 2017) for measuring the effects of reducing of the state incentives.…”

The research subject is the investment environment problems analysis and evaluation of the developing countries, namely, the Republic of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary. The analysis was carried out by testing and implementation of the Value-at-Risk models, i.e, the historical simulation (HS VaR), the delta-normal VaR (D VaR) and the extreme value theory model (EVT), with the confidence level of 95% for 100, 200 and 300 days, in the period from 2012 to 2016. The basic hypothesis of the research is that there is a relation between the successful application of the historical simulation (HS VaR), the delta-normal VaR (D VaR) and the extreme value theory model (EVT) and the conditions and opportunities of the investment environment of the developing countries. The research results provide a concrete knowledge of the conditions and circumstances of the investment environment in the observed markets, with a simultaneous performance assessment of the tested VaR models.
