atrium and daylight performance in office buildings: effect of atrium’s roof shape on daylight reception
the first step in evaluating the visual performance and energy efficiency provided by daylight, requires an accurate estimation of the amount of daylight entering a building. the atrium concept allows the exploitation of daylight by bringing natural light into the center of the buildings, thus enhancing even a more distribution of daylight. daylight reception through an atrium is particularly b...
متن کاملAnnual daylight simulations with EvalDRC – Assessing the performance of daylight redirection components
EvalDRC is a newly developed daylight analysis tool for the evaluation of Daylight Redirecting Components (DRC) in architectural spaces. It focuses on the accurate simulation of light redirection with help of the lighting software environment RADIANCE. It employs various key technologies, among them are: a) the daylight coefficient method, b) characterisation of the light redirection behaviour ...
متن کاملStudy of Optimal Area of Atrium for Daylight Utilization (Case Study: Administrative Building in Qazvin, Iran)
Atrium is a popular architectural feature utilized widely by building designers and owners to bring various benefits such as adequate daylight, circulation spaces and surfaces for landscape applications. But atrium problems in tropical climates such as excessive daylight, glare and high temperature, which lead to increase building energy demand, have been reported. Atrium has been used with var...
متن کاملSpeedup Potential of Climate-Based Daylight Modelling on GPUs
Architects must consider an entire year's worth of solar positions and climate data to design buildings with adequate daylight and minimal glare. However, annual simulations are time-consuming and computationally expensive, which makes them difficult to integrate into iterative design processes. In this paper, we compare the performance of several RADIANCE-based dynamic daylighting simulation m...
متن کاملDaylight Design of Office Buildings: Optimisation of External Solar Shadings by Using Combined Simulation Methods
Integrating daylight and energy performance with optimization into the design process has always been a challenge for designers. Most of the building environmental performance simulation tools require a considerable amount of time and iterations for achieving accurate results. Moreover the combination of daylight and energy performances has always been an issue, as different software packages a...
