| Abstract | ABSTRACTTo address the absence of natural light in working spaces, virtual natural lighting solutions (VNLS) can be promising. VNLS are systems that artificially provide lighting as well as a realistic outside view with properties comparable to those of real windows and skylights. This article discusses the evaluation and analysis of various opening configurations of a second-generation VNLS prototype, which features an array of light emitting diode (LED) tiles coupled with a line of linear LED fixtures with adjustable color temperatures that provide direct light. Simulation using Radiance was performed and validated with the measurement results. Various possibilities of placing the prototypes inside the test room were investigated in Radiance to determine the effect on space availability and visual comfort. Based on the comparison of seven configurations of two prototypes with equal total opening size, it was found that nearly all configurations tested yielded a space availability of 100% with a criterio. |
