Interior illuminance distribution was analysed using a combination of two daylight sources – window and skylight pipes. The results were obtained for cloudy weather conditions. Final remarks concern the effectiveness of supplementary daylighting of interiors using different configurations of light pipes.

In addition to traditional stand-alone photovoltaic systems, more and more new or modernized buildings are equipped with integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPV). The main aim of this paper is to compare two models used to calculate amount of electric power generated by photovoltaic panel. Analysed models were implemented into well-known simulation programs, ESP-r and TRNSYS.
