Principal Investigator: J. Alstan Jakubiec
Research Team: Geraldine Quek, Thanyalak Srisamranrungruang, Riccardo Talami, Zhe Kong

A 2.5-year daylighting post-occupancy study in Singapore involving calibration of annual climate-based daylight models from short-term measurements, and combines annual simulated lighting data with subjective findings from perceptions of a total 575 participants; 540 participants in 10 office spaces and 35 participants from 17 residences.
