2. Building physical aspects of tubular light guides

   Tubular light guides are continuously improved because of the ever rising requirements put onto thermal comfort in interiors of buildings. This has some side effects, like the depreciation of their physical properties. Therefore it is required to create a comprehensive overview of building physical aspects of tubular light guides, which can be based on experiments and computer simulations. The conclusions then are bound to be incorporated into the concept of a modified tubular light guide.
