Abstract

Light Transmitting Building Block (LTBB) is a building block with transparent rods embedded in it that allows transmission of light. It was recently granted a patent in 2020 in India and so, there is no further information available on its light-transmitting performance. The paper analyzes the data generated from the experiment performed in Patna, India on its light transmitting capacity for daylighting. Many factors are involved that have an impact on the light transmitting capacity of the LTBB (Model 1). Experiment for light transmittance were also carried out for the block without embedded transparent rods (Model 2) and compared with Model 1. It is found that light transmitting performance of Model 1 was significantly better than Model 2. Further, the requirement of the number of blocks of Model 1 was calculated for generating the recommended level of illumination for specific indoor activities through a software simulation using DIALux.

透光砌块的照明性能分析

光传输建筑块(LTBB)是一种建筑块，其中嵌入了透明的杆，允许光传输。它最近于2020年在印度获得了一项专利，因此，没有关于其透光性能的进一步信息。本文分析了在印度巴特那进行的关于其日光传输能力的实验数据。影响LTBB透光能力的因素很多(模型1)。我们还对未嵌入透明棒的块体进行了透光率实验(模型2)，并与模型1进行了对比。发现模型1的透光性能明显优于模型2。此外，通过使用DIALux的软件模拟，计算模型1的街区数量，以产生特定室内活动的推荐照明水平。

期刊介绍： Founded at the University of Sydney in 1958 by Professor Henry Cowan to promote continued professional development, Architectural Science Review presents a balanced collection of papers on a wide range of topics. From its first issue over 50 years ago the journal documents the profession’s interest in environmental issues, covering topics such as thermal comfort, lighting, and sustainable architecture, contributing to this extensive field of knowledge by seeking papers from a broad geographical area. The journal is supported by an international editorial advisory board of the leading international academics and its reputation has increased globally with individual and institutional subscribers and contributors from around the world. As a result, Architectural Science Review continues to be recognised as not only one of the first, but the leading journal devoted to architectural science, technology and the built environment. Architectural Science Review publishes original research papers, shorter research notes, and abstracts of PhD dissertations and theses in all areas of architectural science including: -building science and technology -environmental sustainability -structures and materials -audio and acoustics -illumination -thermal systems -building physics -building services -building climatology -building economics -ergonomics -history and theory of architectural science -the social sciences of architecture
