چکیده

This paper presents a methodology for optimizing skylight design with the considerations of thermal comfort, daylight availability and energy performance by integrated daylight and thermal simulation. Dynamic thermal modelling programmed IES and daylight simulation engine Radiance are used as simulation tools to study energy performance of a shopping mall atrium with a skylight on the roof top located in Hangzhou, China. The sensitivity of design options, such as skylight types, shading devices and glass configuration selection etc., on lighting and cooling energies are compared based on the simulation results. Separated roof light design with double low-e glazing is with the best energy performance. Energy performance comparison chart (S-chart) for skylight design option evaluation is then developed based on the simulation results for this study. This chart can be used as a fast check tool to guide energy efficient skylight design and to support a quick design assessment for designers in various design stages.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Daylight Performance Metrics in Predicting Visual Comfort Case Study: Educational Architecture Design Studios in Tehran

It is essential to ensure that adequate daylight penetrates in, especially, educational environments. In spite of positive significant impacts of daylight on the emotions, concentration, and learning of students, an exceeded amount of light will lead to glare and visual dissatisfaction. Over the last few years, with the help of simulation tools and lighting indices, it is possible to predict li...

Skylight Design Regulation for Residential Building in Hamadan City

Skylights or light wells are an integral part of the design of low- and high-depth buildings. The design of these skylights in different areas is based on specific criteria. According to Hamedan's criteria, only the dimensions of these skylights and the ratio of skylight area to height of the skylight are enough to design skylights. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of sk...

Designing a practical system for spectral imaging of skylight.

In earlier work [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 21, 13-23 (2004)], we showed that a combination of linear models and optimum Gaussian sensors obtained by an exhaustive search can recover daylight spectra reliably from broadband sensor data. Thus our algorithm and sensors could be used to design an accurate, relatively inexpensive system for spectral imaging of daylight. Here we improve our simulation of th...
