A Design Proposal for Improving Daylight Availability of a Deep-Plan Classroom by Using Tubular Daylight Guidance Systems and Movable Shading Devices

The use of daylight in educational settings has a significant impact on the well-being, attention, and academic achievement students. However, providing adequate daylighting without glare can be difficult, especially deep-plan layout classrooms, because is not constant its strength varies with distance from façade, necessitating additional solutions frequently. In this study, tubular guidance systems (TDGS) movable shading devices are proposed to increase availability Yaşar University Faculty Architecture Temporary Studio, which deep plan receives only southeast facade. objective was meet LEED evaluation requirements for each zone, require sDA at least 55% ASE most 10% selected analysis area. To propose TDGS shadings efficient angles positions; Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Climate Studio were used, simulation results validated by real-time measurements. design proposal achieved rear part room (zone 2-3), while diminished near façade (zone1). strategy improved through room, demonstrating that perform well together.
