Experimental Investigation of Illumination Performance of Hollow Light Pipe for Energy Consumption Reduction in Buildings

This work investigates the light illumination intensity, light transmission performance, light distribution on the floor, and daylight factor of vertical light hollow tubes at various incident elevation angles of a light source. The light tubes were made from commercial aluminum alloy sheets and com...
