Abstract:
This paper describes the use of light redirecting panels to improve the daylighting inside highly obstructed rooms at the lower levels of high-density residential developments in dense cities such as Hong Kong. Light redirecting panels are described and a simple design rule for the application of panels to highly obstructed windows, panel tilt angle-one half the obstruction angle, is derived. Scale model measurements demonstrate redirecting panels improve daylight factors by up to three times before discomfort glare becomes a limitation. Average ratio of daylight factors is a more useful measure of improved daylighting than the conventionally used average daylight factor.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes the results of a simulation analysis to determine the effectiveness of daylighting in reducing electrical energy consumption for office buildings in Egypt. Specifically, the impact on daylighting performance is investigated of window size, building size, daylighting control, and glazing type for three geographical locations in Egypt. It was determined that a window to wall area ratio of 0.20 minimizes the total annual electricity use for office buildings in three Egyptian locations, Cairo, Alexandria, and Aswan. A simplified analysis method is developed based on the analysis results to estimate the annual electrical energy savings attributed to daylighting.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a conceptual framework for the introduction of daylighting considerations into the design of office buildings. Design is an intuitive process, yet the intuition must be educated by study and analysis. The framework developed in the thesis enables the systematic study of daylighting principles and techniques and is a major step towards a grasp of daylighting design. The thesis is divided into nine chapters. The introductory chapter contains a brief history of daylighting in office buildings, examines reasons for daylighting, and explains the structure of the thesis. The following chapter analyses the performance criteria that the luminous environment in office interiors must fulfill in order to provide a satisfactory performance of visual tasks and result in user acceptance. Each of the next five chapters examine specific techniques, under five general objectives: i. promoting daylight access ii. promoting daylight penetration iii. interior space planning for daylighting advantage iv. controlling brightness extremes v. integrating daylight with electrical light In each chapter, these techniques are listed in order of decreasing scale: from site planning, through building configuration and building envelope, to building interior. The thesis shows that daylighting can be incorporated into building design at various levels of commitment, ranging from a total commitment to daylighting, in which the building is conceived as "a light fixture that can be engineered to a state of optimal performance", to a minor commitment, in which, for example, perimeter lights in an otherwise standard office building design are controlled in response to daylighting needs. Furthermore, it is shown that daylighting techniques can be introduced at various scales--some techniques may modulate the massing, while others deal with specific building components. Following the study of techniques, there is a discussion on daylighting design tools and the integration of daylighting with other aspects of design. The thesis concludes that daylighting offers architects the opportunity to design office buildings so that they use less energy and, at the same time, provide a better working environment than is the case with most buildings today.

Abstract:
Among the different environmental functions atria perform, this research has focused only on daylighting. The thesis has been presented in two parts. The first part provides the background information, the extent of daylighting research in atria, objective and scope of the research. The environmental role of atria has also been discussed. The second part deals with the research procedure, the description of the scale model used for the study, the conditions under which the study have been conducted, and finally, the conclusions of the study. The effects of changing the reflectivity of the wall and floor surfaces of the atria well on the illumination in the adjacent spaces to atria have been studied. The objective of the thesis was to establish the relative contributions of the changes in the surface reflectance of the wall and the effects of variations in the area of the openings in the wall facade on lighting in the adjacent occupied spaces. The importance of the floor reflectivity in lighting the spaces adjacent to the atria was also determined. Quantitative analysis of daylighting in atria has been conducted using physical scale models under natural overcast skies using daylight factor and well index to normalize the results. Although the thesis has concentrated on daylighting, in reality there are other functions, both social and environmental, that atria are required to perform, and where appropriate, these functions have been acknowledged. It has been established by this research, that the atria well and the spaces adjacent to it are affected by changes in the area of openings in the form of windows in the wall facades of the well. Small variations in higher reflective surfaces on the wall facade produce greater differences in the daylight factors as compared to similar differences in surfaces with lower reflectances. Using high surface reflectance on the floor of the atria well will enhance illumination in the lower levels of the atria. As the area of the (high) reflective surfaces along the edges of the floor is increased, the illumination in the side spaces in the lower levels also increases. The area of floor reflectivity needed for increasing the illumination levels in the side spaces is dependent on the area of openings on the walls at the lower levels.

Abstract:
The use of natural light is very beneficial in office buildings because energy consumption can be reduced, and working conditions can be enhanced, which positively affect workers' health and productivity. However, bringing natural light into deep plan office buildings is not possible with simple windows or skylights, and light transport systems are necessary to bring natural light into the deep cores of buildings. Light transport systems usually need sun-tracking devices to collect natural light that are complicated, expensive and require continual maintenance. Mirrored light pipes coupled with laser cut panels (LCP) are a passive and simpler daylight transport solution and are the focus of this PhD research. The primary aim has been to improve the technology and achieve the most efficient passive solution possible through the interactive use of theoretical modelling, experimental measurements and case studies. Applications of this technology were investigated in two case studies: 1) as horizontal light pipes for daylight illumination of a high rise building proposal in the tropics; and 2) as vertical light pipes for daylight illumination of a middle-rise deep plan building proposal in a subtropical environment. In both cases, quantitative system performance under best (clear sunny sky) and worst (overcast) case scenarios was undertaken via scale model testing and mathematical modelling. The major conclusion for both case studies was that mirrored light pipe technologies, when coupled with LCP, were effective in introducing sufficient ambient light levels inside buildings and over distances > 20 m from the façade or roof. Average lux levels achieved in the space were 150 to 350 lux for the horizontal light pipes and 50 to 300 lux for vertical light pipes. However, as a passive solution, this technology has two major limitations: 1) the dependence on sun azimuth and elevation angles, which result in variations in illuminance levels during the day and the year; and potentially 2) pipe size, as pipes with a large diameter (e.g. 2 m in diameter for 20 m long pipes) are required for optimal performance, such that the large pipes may limit integration in building design. Two other solutions were assessed to circumvent these limitations to the mirrored light pipe technology: 1) a passive collector that concentrate natural light by using a fluorescent panel to reduce the size of the pipe, and 2) an active collector comprising a LCP rotating 360 degrees in a 24 hour cycle to reduce system dependence on sun azimuth and elevation angles. The low light-to-light efficiency of the fluorescent panels made them inappropriate for collecting sufficient amounts of daylight necessary for daylighting of large buildings. In contrast, the rotating LCP is a very simple active system that by rotating constantly at 15 degrees per hour, reduces the deviation angle between the panel orientation and sun azimuth angle, and significantly increased the system performance. The performance was generally better (e.g. 2.5 times better for light collection under low sun elevation angles) than the passive light pipe system with fixed LCP. However, active systems raise other issues in terms of cost-benefit in constructing, operating and maintaining such systems. Passive mirrored light pipes coupled with LCPs or simple active systems with rotating LCPs have great potential as daylight solutions for deep plan buildings as they can contribute to lowering overall energy consumption, improve workplace health and become an architectural design element. Research is still required on the implementation of the technology into buildings, but the growing trend towards 'green buildings', sustainable design and government regulations or building codes will require more daylighting use in buildings, and will motivate designers to increasingly consider and incorporate such daylighting strategies into future building designs.

Mundo, Hernandez Julia Judith. "Fabric membranes as Daylighting Control Systems in buildings." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2006. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/10196/.

Full text
Abstract:
The latter half of the 20th century saw the development of lightweight tensioned translucent membranes as shading devices and their increasing use in providing daylight and daylight control. Buildings with high lighting consumption and long operation hours in particular are including translucent membranes in their daylighting strategies. For this reason, the use of reliable tools for the prediction of the lighting environment experienced in daylit spaces, which exploit translucent membranes, has become essential. To date most analytic efforts related to predicting daylighting performance has concentrated on the analysis of light penetration through glass openings. Little attention has been paid to the light transmission through fabric membranes. The membranes itself are normally in tensioned creating double curvature shapes. The simulation of light transmitted through membranes involves the modelling of complex geometries, which places significant demand to their modelling. This thesis explores the daylighting performance of sports buildings that include translucent membranes as part of their daylighting strategy. Performance of these buildings has been assessed by field illuminance measurements, physical scale modelling in artificial sky and three-dimensional modelling using Radiance software. The accuracy of the simulation tools is assessed against the lighting data recorded in the field study. Findings show that physical scale models tend to overestimate the illuminance levels and daylight factors of the sports halls. On the other hand, Radiance simulations proved to be accurate in terms of daylight factors and illuminance distribution in the playing areas. Finally, a questionnaire has been distributed among the occupants of the three case study buildings and one totally artificially illuminated sports centre. The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the users satisfaction towards the lighting environment of the enclosures. The ability to accurately predict the daylighting performance in membrane sports buildings is significant for the development of research in daylighting and sustainable architecture. In addition, the further use of translucent membranes for the control of natural light in all type of buildings relies on the possibility to confidently predict their daylighting performance.

Abstract:
A study on the potential of daylighting as a source of indoor lighting in Malaysian buildings is described. Not much work has been done on daylighting in Malaysia, due to several factors. Firstly, local daylight data is unavailable and secondly, research in daylighting design is relatively new. This work is therefore aimed at providing a solid foundation in daylighting knowledge and to contribute towards the development of deSign tools and strategies for buildings in a hot, humid climate, in particular Malaysia. The work began with a survey of traditional and modern buildings to identify old and new daylighting techniques. From the daylighting point of view, recently built buildings in general, are not designed for the tropics. The bioclimatic approach was used to identify the passive strategies to keep Malaysian buildings thermally comfortable for the occupants. The Model Year Climate accurate hourly data for 8 climate parameters were produced by statistical analyses from a database of 21 years of meteorological data. A field study to determine the thermal comfort conditions of young persons in a normal working environment was also carried as part of the bioclimatic analyses. From the results of the three studies, a strategy was formulated to create a low-energy yet thermally comfortable building environment for the hot-humid region by integrating daylighting in the building design through the size of window openings and types of shading devices. The prevailing sky type in the Klang Valley was determined using solar irradiation and cloud cover data. The sky type was identified, and confirmed by four identification techniques, as predominantly intermediate. As daylight and solar irradiation share similar physical properties, hourly daylight data were modelled using solar irradiation data and luminous efficacy values. An artificial sky was designed and constructed to conduct daylighting experiments using architectural scale models. The correlation coefficient of the luminance produced by the sky simulator as compared to the intermediate sky luminance model was 0.996. This study focussed on sidelighting, which is the most common daylighting strategy in Malaysia. The daylighting performance of several window opening sizes ranging from 10% up to 40% window-to-wall ratio and several types of shading devices were investigated using the Daylight Factor Method. A suitable architectural scale model of a basic room with one removable wall, on which the fenestration systems were attached, was used for the investigations. The optimum window opening size was found to be 25% where daylight is enhanced and energy consumption for cooling load is reduced. The best shading device tested for buildings in the Malaysian climate was found to be a sloped shading device integrated with a horizontal light shelf. This device has the capability to reduce excess lighting while maintaining the required daylight levels in a normal working environment as recommended by the Malaysia Guidelines for Energy Efficiency in Buildings. The results of the daylighting performance of the fenestrations were used together with modelled exterior illuminance data to produce several daylighting design tools. Graphical tools produced to aid architects include iso-OF charts, isolux charts or daylight footprints while look-up tables and nomographs were produced for engineers. The NORMA algorithm was used to calculate the cooling loads of a simple building to demonstrate the possible energy savings as a result of applying the above daylighting strategies. It was found that at least 10% of energy could be saved by integrating daylighting in Malaysian buildings while maintaining acceptable indoor thermal comfort criteria for young Malaysians.

Abstract:
This research work has been carried out to utilize daylight more effectively for indoor illumination in an energy efficient building without any compromise on indoor environmental quality; especially the visual comfort on task plane. Two different daylighting systems have been designed and constructed, and a series of tests have been performed to assess their photometric characteristics as well as their performance. A typical system considered has an optic concentrator capable of tracking the sun and making high density fluxes of solar rays. It consists of either dish or funnel shaped concentrators followed by optical fiber cables and diffusers at the end. The design of a dish concentrator (diameter less than 30 cm) is prepared by rotating a simple parabolic profile in compliance with the major physical requirements. This geometrical simplicity has also been applied for the design of a funnel shaped concentrator created by combining two parabolas. When the sunlight is highly focused, it is then redirected and undergoes a number of reflections to enter a light guide for its final transmission to the terminal device. The light reaching the terminal device finally gets consumed by the interior of a building for indoor illumination. The active daylighting system considered in this study offers substantial advantages over conventional solar designs in its fabrication, installation, operation, and utilization of the sun's energy. The proposed daylighting system is durable and suited to economical operation for different schemes of indoor illumination of buildings. Each component of the system could be made from off-the-shelf technology, thus making the generic unit inexpensive to manufacture. Depending on spatial demand or characteristics, the amount of daylight introduced could be controlled without undue difficulties. To assess the photometric characteristics of a daylighting system, goniophtometer and spectrometemr easurementsa re made,w hich provided its luminous intensity distribution and spectral radiance. The spatial distribution of light emerging from the optical cable is examined by monitoring the workplane illuminances for the mock-up spaces in Nottingham (UK) and Jeju (Korea). Six different types of terminal devices (optical lenses, light rod) are also examined experimentally to elicit the most optimal design for use with a daylighting system. Of those tested, the circular shape acrylic rod spreads out the light most widely followed by semi-concave lens whereas the semi-convex lens has shown the smallest light spreading ability. The test results have revealed some distinctive features of the present dishdaylighting system in bringing natural daylight to non-daylit areas or interior spaces too deep for conventional daylighting apertures. Especially, it proved the effectiveness of the system when applied for individualized lighting allowing individual control over the amount of light in space and to suit individual preferences for lighting conditions. Experimental data from measurements are further extended to develop the numerical models with RADIANCE and ECOTECT for theoretical predictions under different situations. The image of luminance ratio maps generated by RADIANCE and the fish-eye photographs of the sky were conducive to realistic assessment of possible glare reduction and uniformity improvement not just for the task plane but also for its surroundings. There were some appreciable changes made in the indoor luminance distribution thanks to our daylighting system. It has clearly demonstrated its functional reliability and usefulness to control brightness and thus promote indoor visual environment.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 129-138).
Awareness of the benefits of good daylighting has risen in recent years, and the designs of many new buildings take daylighting into consideration. However, the majority of our built environment is older than this recent trend, and was not designed with daylighting as a top priority. A need exists, therefore, to find an efficient means of improving the daylighting of existing buildings. Furthermore, along with the development of such a daylighting technique, a set of guidelines should be developed to determine this technique's applicability to a given existing space, thus facilitating its acceptance into the toolbox of current building practice. This paper focuses particularly on the integration and adaptation of anidolic daylighting systems into existing buildings. By using mostly RADIANCE simulations, this thesis seeks to discover a range of conditions for optimal integration of an anidolic daylighting system. These conditions are then simplified and displayed in the form of a set of recommendations and guidelines for the benefit of architectural practitioners.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes the results of a simulation analysis to determine the effectiveness of daylighting in reducing electrical energy consumption for office buildings in Egypt. Specifically, the impact on daylighting performance is investigated of window size, building size, daylighting control, and glazing type for three geographical locations in Egypt. It was determined that a window to wall area ratio of 0.20 minimizes the total annual electricity use for office buildings in three Egyptian locations, Cairo, Alexandria, and Aswan. A simplified analysis method is developed based on the analysis results to estimate the annual electrical energy savings attributed to daylighting.

Abstract:
This paper describes data and algorithms to estimate typical average interior illuminance from daylighting using a hybrid of Hay, Davies, Klucher, Reindl (HDKR) method for calculating total solar radiation on a tilted surface and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Lumen Method for estimating interior illuminance from daylighting. This hybrid algorithm, in conjunction with typical meteorological data, directly accounts for shading and typical local cloud cover effects on an hour-by-hour basis, which is difficult to do using the IES sky-cover or sky-ratio methods. Several experiments show reasonable agreement between measured and calculated results. Case study examples demonstrate of use of the method, when incorporated into software, to quickly analyze daylighting potential in industrial facilities, and the use of this information to develop specific recommendations for cost-effectively reducing lighting energy use in industrial facilities by improving the utilization of natural lighting.

Abstract:
Atria can offer several benefits to deep plan commercial and office buildings. This includes passive heating and cooling, ventilation, and daylighting. In order to use daylight effectively in atrium buildings, the characteristics that affect the light levels and distribution must be taken into account and analyzed. These elements include roofs, shapes, well geometries, surface finishes, and glazing types. The analysis outlined in this paper shows that a larger atrium area, higher window-to-wall ratio, clear windows, and a multi-story building provide the highest energy savings. The paper also presents a simplified calculation method to determine the percent lighting energy reduction attributed to atria in office buildings with continuous dimming. The lighting energy savings due to daylighting from atria can be up to 40%.

Abstract:
This report has been developed in the frame of the IEA SHC Task 61 Subtask A “User requirements”. The main objective was to rethink and reformulate user requirements to lighting (daylighting and electric lighting) in public buildings on the basis of a thorough literature study. The work is a joint effort of a number of scientists and represents collective knowledge in this topic. The concept of Lighting quality is the one, among many lighting concepts, which expresses the user perspective best. Lighting quality is the important goal of lighting designers and planners; however, it is difficult to define and to measure.
