This paper examines daylight usage as a design tool in architectural projects, as an inspiration point, and as a natural concept creator during building design. Architectural design which is a complex process, includes some basic steps such as; analyses-synthe…

Few ancient structures inspire spiritual reverence and architectural awe like the Roman Pantheon. Designed as a temple and a cosmological instrument, the Pantheon depicts how Roman architects transformed daylight into a divine symbol. This paper examines the s…

Interior lighting profoundly affects health, perception, and comfort. This study investigates key lighting parameters—intensity, spectrum, exposure timing, and spatial layout—and their physiological and psychological effects. Based on scenario simulations, thi…

This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

Building automation and control systems (BACs) allow plants in buildings to be controlled and managed, thus increasing the users' comfort and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. As far as the lighting services are concerned, control systems offer an …
