Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The perception, physiology, behavior, and performance of building occupants are influenced by multi-domain exposures: the simultaneous presence of multiple environmental stimuli, i.e., visual, thermal, acoustic, and air quality. Despite being extensive, the literature on multi-domain exposures presents heterogeneous methodological approaches and inconsistent study reporting, which hinder direct comparison between studies and meta-analyses. Therefore, in addition to carrying out more multi-domain studies, such investigations need to be designed, conducted, and documented in a systematic and transparent way. With the goal to facilitate and support future multi-domain studies and their meta-analyses, this work provides (1) a range of criteria for multi-domain study design and reporting (i.e., defined as quality criteria), and (2) a critical review of the multi-domain literature based on the described criteria, which can serve as guidelines and recommendations for future studies on the topic. The identified quality criteria encompass study set-up, study deployment and analysis, and study outcome, stressing the importance of adopting a consistent terminology and result reporting style. The developed critical review highlights several shortcomings in the design, deployment, and documentation of multi-domain studies, emphasizing the need for quality improvements of future multi-domain research. The ultimate goal of this work is to consolidate our knowledge on multi-domain exposures for its integration into regulatory resources and guidelines, which are currently dominated by single-domain knowledge.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article describes the collaborative creation of the curriculum for a new eLearning programme on daylighting design of buildings targeting both traditional and lifelong learners. The programme consists of an online platform integrated with a summer school for practical applications. The curriculum was developed through several workshops with professionals, representatives of national bodies on building regulations, academics, and a survey distributed among professional and potential users. The goal was to create a curriculum able to match the educational needs of society and the status of research by bridging the current gap between requirements set on daylighting by the latest regulation and the low level of education on daylighting in university curricula.

Discussing daylight simulations in a proposal for online daylighting education
- 2020

In: BuildSim Nordic 2020 – International Conference Organized by IBPSA-Nordic, 13th-14th October 2020, Oslo : Book of Abstracts - Book of Abstracts. - 9788283642674 ; , s. 86-93

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is increasing interest concerning daylighting in the building sector. However, such knowledge is difficult to penetrate the curricula of architects and designers as existing educational programmes often do not provide sufficient training on BPS. This also leads to superficial use of daylight simulations.This paper presents a proposal for a needs-based education package on daylighting design, that mixes modular eLearning and an intensive summer school, called NLITED.The NLITED model includes modules on daylight simulation whose implementation (in eLearning key) can trigger a constructive discussion and receive valuable feedback from the Nordic community of BPS specialists.

NLITED - New Level of Integrated Techniques for Daylighting Education: preliminary data on the use of an e-learning platform
- 2022
-
In: LUX Europa 2022 : Proceedings of the 14th European Lighting Conference - Proceedings of the 14th European Lighting Conference. - 9788011022693 - 9788011022693 ; , s. 138-146

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Project NLITED – New Level of Integrated Techniques for Daylighting Education - is an educational project for students and professionals. The project's objective is to create and develop an online eLearning platform with 32 eModules dedicated to daylight knowledge. The project also offers e-learners two summer school training where the theoryis put into practice. The platform was launched on January 31, 2022. The paper analyses the participation during the first four months of online activity until May 31, 2022. It discusses which eModules have received the highest participation rate and which have the lowest. These data are compared to the preferences on modules expressed by different panels of experts. The experts expressed their recommendations for specific educational content during workshops conducted in 2021, which led to the definition of the curriculum. Furthermore, participants also fill out an evaluation test on the quality and the usability of the eModule(s) they have taken. This information leads to the amendments of the ePlatform which are in the scope of action for the final year of the NLTED project.

Training on sustainable daylighting: the NLITED project
- 2023

In: Proceedings of the 30th Session of the CIE : CIE x050:2023 - CIE x050:2023. - 9783902842770 ; 1, s. 735-744

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- NLITED - New Level of Integrated Techniques for Daylighting Education is a European project bridging a daylight design education gap. The paper describes the framework of the project, which consists of a free online e-platform with 32 modules dedicated to daylight knowledge within the built environment used by almost 800 learners (students and professionals). Two 7-day summer schools support the e-platform. The e-content was created by more than 30 international tutors based on a series of workshops and online surveys to define the need for sustainable daylight training. The paper addresses a gap in the literature on daylight education by describing the functioning e-platform and its usage results.
