“…It is unclear from the literature whether occupants keep non-workspace lights on more because of being at home on teleworked days. Since workdays coincide with daylit hours, daylight is expected to reduce lighting electricity use, though residential building daylight research is not mature [18] .…”

Highlights Telework impacts transportation, building, and Internet-related energy and emissions. Telework’s environmental impact is highly dependent on contextual details. The majority of studies indicate telework decreases energy use, with some exceptions. Rebound effects tend to significantly offset and even exceed energy savings. Existing research methods tend to be simple, leaving room for significant improvement.

“…This raises the question of whether existing daylight metrics are suitable for home design. In reference [52], a critical check of current climate-based daylight metrics in the context of residential architecture is provided. It has been found that existing workflows often overlook relevant aspects of daylight in living spaces, such as daylight and seasonal availability of daylight and access to direct sunlight.…”

The reconstruction of balconies and loggias is a key element of the renovation of apartment buildings. Artificial light will never replace natural light. Every day, one must make full use of the potential of daylight and enjoy an advantage—free-of-charge natural light entering the interior. When renovating balconies, people often change the character of this protruding structure from a façade to a loggia. This is also the subject of this paper. For the evaluation of the daylighting conditions prevailing in residential building, the Daylight Factor (DF) was considered as the parameter for indicating the quantity of admitted daylight. The DF values and illuminance—CIE overcast sky were calculated using DIALux 9.1 software. The aim of the paper is to compare two variants of the level of daylight in the rooms of the residential building. One option to bring in even more natural light than a window is a variant with balconies. Loggias are satisfactory in terms of static and thermal technology, but daylight conditions are deteriorating. The article provides an insight into the solution of the renovation of balconies and loggias in a specific apartment building. The result shows their influence on changes in the conditions of natural daylight in the interior of two selected rooms.

“…The methodology of a new structure of daylighting analysis of residential buildings is proposed in the works [15,16]. It consists of two parameters that reflect the daytime and seasonal availability of natural light, as well as the average duration of access to direct sunlight.…”

The aim of the research is to determine the economic and energy efficiency usage of the artificial lighting control systems, with the help of astronomical relays and motion sensors, by various types of light sources for the stairwells (stair landings and staircases) of multistory residential buildings. The analysis of the residents' monthly movement intensity of the 9-story residential buildings through the buildings entrance, doorways, and apartment doors was carried out. The economic and energy efficiency of use the artificial lighting control systems with an astronomical relays and motion sensors with different types of light sources was determined. Regardless of the light sources` type, the astronomical relay's use leads to reduction in the electricity consumption of artificial lighting in 43.31%-50.52%. Moreover, the motion sensors' use on stairwells leads to a significant reduction in electrical energy consumption: in a case of halogen lamps-by 97.73%, compact fluorescent lamps-by 95.27%, light-emitting diodes lamps-by 93.98%. For the first time, the data of 9story residential buildings inhabitants' traffic intensity through the first-floor doorway for the Ternopil city, Ukraine has been carried out. It has been proved the economic feasibility and energy efficiency of using combined lighting with an artificial lighting control system for stairwells of multistory residential buildings.
