Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies. (2004)
Conference Proceeding
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2004. Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies. In Ellis, R. and Bell, M. (eds.) Proceedings of the 2004 International construction and building research conference (COBRA 2004), 7-8 September 2004, Leeds, UK. London: RICS Foundation.

It is expected that the climate of North Africa, one of the hottest regions of the world, will become still more extreme due to the effects of global warming. This would result in higher energy consumptions for cooling purposes in buildings. Daylight... Read More about Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies..

It is often asserted that the sun and traditional dwellings were in a perfect harmony, whereas the built environment produced in the last fifty years has in fact marginalized most of the climatic factors. Increasingly, an effort is being made to reco... Read More about The impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's occupancy: case of the hot dry regions of Algeria..

An evaluation method for daylighting quality in buildings under clear sunny skies. (2003)
