Influence of Groves on Daylight Conditions and Visual Performance of Users of Urban Civil Infrastructures

The control and efficient use of daylight is a difficult task due to its seasonal and hourly variation. Although it is matter of active research in indoor lighting due to the necessity to light human tasks at any hour of the day in a sustainable way, little attention has been paid to the impact of d...
