Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation. (2002)
Thesis
Zhang, X. Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3602

The innovation of natural daylighting light pipe took place more than twenty years ago. Since then its daylighting performance has been reported in a number of studies. To date, however, no mathematical method that includes the effect of straight-r... Read More about Daylighting performance of tubular solar light pipes: measurement, modelling and validation..
