Comprehensive Performance Metrics for Complex Fenestration Systems Using a Relative Approach
Buildings account for over 40% of the energy consumption in the United States, nearly 40% of which is attributed to lighting. The selection of a fenestration system for a building is a critical decision as it offsets electric lighting use as well as impacts energy performance through heating and cooling systems. Further, the fenestration system contributes to both occupant comfort and ambiance ...
متن کاملDesign Methodology for Optimization of Electricity Generation and Daylight Utilization for Façade with Semitransparent Photovoltaics
Semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPV) have a large potential for integration in fenestration systems, adding the option of solar electricity production while still allowing for satisfaction of daylight needs. This paper studies the potential of using such a technology and examines the impact of changing the photovoltaics (PV) area ratio (ratio of PV coverage to fenestration area) on the STPV fa...
متن کاملPractical and Policy-Relevant Performance Metrics for Complex Fenestration Systems
The selection of a fenestration system for a building is critical, as it impacts energy performance, occupant comfort, and ambiance of a space. Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) address these criteria using a wide variety of novel technologies but are difficult to define or be characterized. Existing metrics for fenestration systems are unable to reveal the dynamics or degree of variety over c...
متن کاملThe Performance of Daylighting with Shading Device in Architecture Design
This paper presents the relationship between daylighting performance and shading device design in the perimeter area of buildings. In the area of tropic and sub-tropic, designers always face with the contradiction between solar heat gain and daylighting using. Factors such as different type of shading device, material reflectance, fenestration design, opening ratio, and daylight distribution wi...
متن کاملBi-directional Light Transmission Properties Assessment for Venetian Blinds: Computer Simulations Compared to Photogoniometer Measurements
An accurate evaluation of daylight distribution through advanced fenestration systems (complex glazing, solar shading systems) requires the knowledge of their Bi-directional light Transmission Distribution Function (BTDF). An innovative equipment for the experimental assessment of these bi-directional functions has been developed, based on a digital imaging detection system. An extensive set of...
