Daylight research is highly experimental and requires the use of various equipment and programs to measure both objective and subjective data. In our research group, we use the following resources and tools to ensure rigorous and robust data collection and analysis, leading to validated results.


  • Light meters: A light meter is a device used to measure the intensity of light, typically in terms of illuminance (lux) or luminous flux (lumens).

  • Virtual Reality (VR) equipment (e.g., VR headset, Motion Controllers, Tracking Systems, Audio Equipment). VR refers to the hardware and software systems used to create interactive, computer-generated environments that simulate real or imaginary world.

  • Software programs are available for rendering and analyzing daylight. Tools such as Ecotect provide general environmental simulations, including daylight analysis; VELUX Daylight Visualizer simulates daylight distribution and daylight factors; and Autodesk Revit supports both daylighting and energy performance analysis.​​
