Development of Lightshelf Blind for Daylighting
Abstract
The requirement of daylight for indoor lighting is increasing as one of the effective strategies for energy conservation today. Several kinds of daylighting systems for controlling and distributing sunlight and daylight have been developed. One of these systems, lightshelf, shades sunlight near the window and introduces sunlight to the deeper parts of the room. Light shelves combine exterior shelves and interior shelves. Both have a high-reflectance upper surface and are placed above eye-level.
