Study a New Approach to Uniform Indoor Illumination from Natural Light

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the problem of nonuniform indoor illumination by sunlight and to meet the need of energy conservation, we design a kind of cuneiform light guide plate to transmit sunlight from outside to rooms relying on the law of total reflection. Theoretical deductions and numerical simulations are used to obtain a preliminary plan, and some issues on applications and feasibility are discussed.
