(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2016)Measuring the luminous environment enables researchers and practitioners to study perception and visual comfort in existing environments in order to decipher the components that contribute to good or problematic lighting ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2018-06)This paper introduces an interactive web-based visualizer for multi-metric daylight simulation results, named OCUVIS. It is able to display simulation-based results for a diverse range of ocular human-centric metrics ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2021)The present simulation case study compares the impact of electric lighting distributions in relation to work-desk location and orientation on work-plane and eye-level illumination within a small private office. The aim of ...
-
(The Society of Light and Lighting, 2021-01-04)Over the last several decades, designers have used digital screens to view images of real and simulated spaces and make critical design decisions. Screen technology has improved during this time, as technologies like OLED ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2023-09)This paper builds on previous efforts to evaluate and compare dynamic light-exposure profiles over time and throughout space. This paper examines two office-floor plans through the eye-level exposure of 10 representative ...

(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2023-09)This paper introduces a simulation-based workflow to assess annual circadian lighting performance, glare risk and energy demand for an array of seated view positions under operated shading and electric lighting ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 1996)This report summarizes research results from March 1996 to February 1997 for the Energy Efficient Industrialized Housing Research Program. One of our research focuses was stressed skin insulating core (SSIC) panel construction. ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2020)Affordable, energy efficient, and healthy housing is a key component of individual, community, and planetary resilience and is increasingly scarce in both rural and urban regions on the West Coast of the US and many other ...
-
(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2023)Mass timber panel production came to the United States after developments in Europe and Canada; the first domestic structural cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels were manufactured by DR Johnson Wood Innovations in Riddle, ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021)This document outlines, catalogs, and summarizes a framework of literature that highlights the impact of school of facilities and classroom environments on student engagement and learning. The NetZED Laboratory at the ...

(Elsevier, 2021)Indoor environmental quality is a paramount concern among architects. Exposure to VOCs and microorganisms impacts occupant health, yet the role of materials on these exposures remains poorly understood. In this study, we ...
-
(Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1997)The construction of single family housing in the United States is growing increasingly industrialized with panelization emerging as the dominant form of industrialization. Will this trend mean that housing construction, ...
-
(Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1995-03)This paper describes the logic testing for an expert system module that looks at an inprocess CAD drawing, identifies the plan type and recommends an alternative plan that is consistent with the designer's preferences, but ...
