Non-visual daylight potential in offices: a parametric study

Abstract A building design where appropriate daylighting is considered from early stages can enhance the building’s energy performance, as well human well-being and productivity. Daylight naturally regulates our daily biological clock, which synchronizes circadian rhythms. This paper presents a simulation-based parametric study to evaluate non-visual daylight potential. side-lit single office room in Danish climate was simulated Grasshopper 3D. Using Lark plug-in, grid-based image-based workflows were created generate illuminance, light Equivalent Melanopic Lux. In this we compared two cases with extremely high low thermal conditions. The impact of orientation on rhythms sitting person pre-defined view-direction under an overcast clear sky investigated. results indicate that certain combinations minimize access up three times leading higher risk disruption. These disruptions highest winter sky. No building-orientation stimulation for defined observed. Hence, it essential set optimally. Evaluating response phases lead inclusive decision-making enhanced indoor
