ArchiLambda Lab is based in the Pennsylvania State University's Department of Architectural Engineering and has its roots in both illumination and mechanical system options. This laboratory’s goal is to understand the thermal and optical dynamics and implications of interactions among buildings, occupants, and external climatic stimuli. The current research efforts encompass three main aspects: bridging the gaps between radiometric and photometric studies in the building environment, integrating spectrally-selective smart material and structures into building envelopes and fenestration systems, and discovering human responses to the interaction between thermal and visual elements. Our research methodology combines experimental, computational, and subjective methods.
