The increasing consideration of research and technological development in fields such as energy and new advanced materials, along with theenvironment and health creates great interest regarding theintegration of natural lighting in the architecture. This book coversa wide range of study of techniques and design analysis of opticalguide systems for architectural lighting design providing aquantitative estimation of the in?uence of numerous factors that a?ect the transport of light in hollow light guides in order to contributeto the prediction of performance. Furthermore, it is presented adetailed analysis of guided of light in optical systems such as hollow prismatic guides together with the development of new mathematicalmodels and methodologies that facilitate the prediction of transported luminous flux and efficiency of systems.
