New computational methods with Sunlight, Daylight, and Quality Views for Regenerative Design

This paper investigates novel computational methods for Regenerative Design by developing further on the European Daylight Standard EN 17037, to make it useful at both urban and architectural scales. Case studies are evaluated sunlight, daylight quality views. A method, compliant with is introduced evaluation of sunlight. An assessment metrics, an office building in Helsinki, a 300 lux target, demonstrates 12% difference between spatial Autonomy (sDA; occupied hours) Illuminance levels (EN 17037 method 2; hours), 37% sDA Factor 1), 25% 1 2. new evaluating ‘views’ floorplan proposed that considers ‘view content’ View Out layers), access’, potential viewpoint-based ‘outside distance’, can be extended add ‘quality environmental information’. Further research directions use metrics discussed daylight, view quality.
