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:

Daylighting improves users’ experience in visual comfort, aesthetics, behaviour and perception of space and plays an important part in enhancing the health and wellbeing of occupants inside a dwelling. However, daylighting design is challenging for high rise living since configuration of multiple apartments together often results in deep plans and wrongly oriented apartments with poor daylighting. Melbourne considered as the most liveable city in the world has witnessed a boom in high rise apartments in recent years, where bedrooms were designed without windows or with one small opening. Previous studies indicated that one out of two apartments in Melbourne’s central business district (CBD) failed to provide daylighting in the bedrooms. This has led to amendments in planning policy with the aim of providing access to daylight in all habitable rooms. This paper investigates the daylighting conditions in apartment buildings using field measurement and daylight simulations. Daylight levels in 12 apartment units in Melbourne CBD were measured. Additionally, daylight simulations were conducted to identify ways for optimizing light levels in standard layouts. The field measurements showed that daylighting levels were insufficient in one third the apartments due to the presence of deep floor plates and external obstructions. The results from the daylight simulations showed that window to floor area ratio (WFR) of approximately 30% is required for achieving acceptable daylighting levels in bedrooms that have south orientation.

Abstract:

Extensive documentation has been developed to support the benefits of daylight for building occupants. Recently, the high performance building industry has shown a trend towards prioritizing better daylighting conditions. In response to this trend, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system now addresses daylighting and views as one of the criteria for compliance. However, effective daylighting has its challenges—most importantly addressing the issue of glare. This paper discusses the issue of glare and its relationship with requirements for effective daylighting within the criteria of the LEED rating system. In this study, a LEED certified building on Montana State University's campus was considered as a case study. This paper conducts an analysis by comparing the results obtained from compliance procedures for LEED with independent evaluations of glare using simulation and post occupancy evaluation surveys. This paper concludes that the ‘illuminance simulation’ option provided in the current version of LEED (LEED v4) for compliance does not adequately address the issue of glare. This paper provides recommendations to improve the LEED rating system for indoor environmental quality which include: the incorporation of glare assessment in the evaluation procedures of daylighting and views; the use of dynamic simulations that incorporate climatic conditions in the evaluation of daylighting; and evaluating glare in early stages of design by using simulation tools.

Abstract:

Daylighting has attracted increasing attention from researchers as an energy-efficient and sustainable building design technique. This research investigates the daylighting of atrium and courtyard building by comparing the performance of various Window to Wall Ratios (WWR) appropriate to Malaysia's tropical climate. The most acceptable option for daylight performance was to specify a moderate WWR value of 30% with shading devices. The results of The Radiance Daylighting Simulations confirmed the daylight performance by a comparison of calculated data and modelling. The findings show the combinations of daylighting parameters that work for courtyard and atrium buildings for the occupants' wellbeing.

Abstract:

Daylighting in buildings is commonly designed and evaluated after the Daylight Factor criterion which is required also by the Slovak standard STN 73 0580. The model of the overcast sky representing the worst daylight conditions is the basis of all standard daylight calculations in many countries. Currently, the prEN standard Daylighting of buildings is elaborated by the CEN TC 169 WG11. A new climatological criterion for evaluation of daylight provision is proposed to reflect various luminous conditions in European localities. This paper informs and discusses the concept of the new standard and presents an example of daylighting evaluation in an interior applying STN and new EN criteria.

Abstract:

In response to the concept of Olympics, Beijing Olympic buildings use solar light pipe systems for daylighting, such as the underground passage in the Olympic Forest Park and the gymnasium of University of Science and Technology Beijing. In this paper, the solar light pipe systems in the two buildings have been measured to find out whether indoor daylighting performance can meet daily use requirements. At last, compare the result with T8 fluorescent lamps to get the energy saving effect of two buildings. Calculating results showed that indoor illuminance of the two buildings can achieve daily use requirements when external illuminance reaches 25036lx and17895lx, and the amount of electricity that can be saved are 2514KW•h and 22186KW•h per year.

Abstract:

Nowadays, dense cities has led towards the decrease of daylight penetration into the interior space. Daylight crisis in buildings brings significant challenges to architecture, in three domains of economic, health - wellbeing and environment. "Light well" as one of the most common means of daylight tolls in building, experiences severe limitations and requires special attention. The question is which strategy is the best for increasing the daylight penetration to the depth of buildings. One of the main challenges in deep plan is to guide daylight into the building core and this can be performed through daylighting strategies, but the choice of the proper innovative daylighting system (IDS) with several parameters is the problem. This paper aims to find elements for optimal choice and selecting context-compatible tools for light well. The result shows that four macro factors were found at the interaction of building and IDS. Identifying the integration components can play an effective role in decision-making or design a new tolls consistent with the physical conditions of light well and building to overcome the daylight crisis. The present study aimed to identify, evaluate, and weigh the factors affecting the selection of appropriate and innovative daylighting systems for buildings. To this end, a three-phase study was planned and carried out. In the first phase, the factors affecting the selection of daylighting systems for the building were screened and finalized by using the Delphi method in three steps. In the second phase, interactions between criteria and sub-criteria were evaluated by the DEMATEL technique and then the network of communications and significant relationship between them were determined. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was employed in the third phase to evaluate the criteria and determine their importance in the selection of daylighting systems. Finally, the relevant sub-criteria were extracted and prioritized. The results indicated that structural, economic, and technical criteria were more effective than functional criteria in the selection of daylighting systems for buildings.

Abstract:

Lighting conditions in buildings are verified by experts on a daily basis. Such verifications may be done at several phases in various ways. In the field of daylighting, it is common to make an assessment within the pre-design and in-design phases of a construction work throughout calculations, only rarely by measurements. This approach is the opposite of artificial lighting design, which is done within the in-design phase by calculations and is verified by measurements in post-realization phase. The verification of artificial lighting design is required by the building and public health authority otherwise buildings cannot be approved to use. In the field of daylighting, measurements could be performed as well, nevertheless those are often problematic because regulations usually require fulfilments of the daylight factor which can be determined only under CIE overcast sky. Howbeit, both artificial lighting and daylighting measurements are influenced by many errors, e.g. errors of light measurement instruments, measurement conditions, measurement methods and human factor. The paper is focused on this aspect of lighting design, more specifically on the daylighting measurement errors.

Abstract:

Daylight is the most underutilized resource in modern buildings. Artificial light can be dispensed away in institutional buildings such as offices, banks, schools etc. having only daytime occupancy by proper architectural design of fenestrations The design of a day lighting space is both an art and a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting designer is to admit only as much light as necessary and distribute it evenly throughout the space without introducing glare or heat. In hot / warm climates, it has become common practice in windows spaces to specify blinds and glazing with high shading coefficients to control glare and minimize heat gain. However, this practice reduces the effectiveness of lighting systems that dim automatically. Improved systems are needed to capture natural daylight and distribute it uniformly throughout a space while controlling heat gain and glare. One such system is the light shelf. Light shelves shade the space from direct sunlight and reflect this sunlight onto the ceiling for a deeper and more uniform distribution. Reflective blinds offer good control of glare and solar protection. Innovative day lighting systems are designed to redirect sunlight or sky light to areas where it is needed with excessive luminance and glare. These systems use optical devices that initiate reflections, refractions, and / or use total internal reflection of sunlight and sky light. Advanced day lighting systems can be designed to actively track the sun or passively control the direct sunlight and sky light. In this paper, we review the state of the art of several advanced day lighting systems which are designed to maximize the energy-saving potential of day lighting, while improving comfort and visual performance at an “affordable” cost.

Abstract:

Majority of office buildings in China are appeared in forms of high-rise buildings and have a character of high construction-scale and high energy-cost. The daylighting in office can not only save the energy, but also meet the physical and psychological needs for eyes, and finally lead to higher work efficiency. Solving the daylighting problems in the high-rise office buildings is urgent. The core position in the high-rise building is an important factor to affect the light in office. In this paper, the author analyses the lighting characteristics of three types of the core position, which is core in the center of the building, core at the peripheral of the building and the core separated from the building. Combined with the natural lighting assistance measures, some design essentials were raised in this paper.

Abstract:

In Saudi Arabia, residential buildings are one of the major contributors to total energy consumption. Even though there are abundant natural resources, it is somewhat difficult to apply them to building designs, as design variables, due to slow progress and private issues in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the present study demonstrated the development of sustainable residential building design by examining the daylighting and energy performance with design variables. Focusing on the daylighting system, the design variables were chosen, including window-to-wall ratios (WWR), external shading devices, and types of glazing. The illuminance level by these design variables in a building was evaluated by using daylight metrics, such as spatial daylight autonomy and annual sunlight exposure. Moreover, the building energy consumption with these design variables was analyzed by using energy simulation. As a result, the daylighting was improved with the increase in WWRs and the tinted double glazing, while these design options can cause overheating in a residential building. Among types of glazing, the double pane windows with a low-E coating showed better energy performance. Based on the results, it is necessary to find the proper design variables that can balance the daylighting and energy performance in residential buildings in hot climates.

Abstract:

The utilization of daylighting as an effort to reduce the usage of building energy needs to be optimized. This is because, low-rise buildings with large volumes require specific strategies for proper light distribution throughout the space. Hence, this study aims to explore and compare the effectiveness of daylighting in the openings design of skylight, roof monitor, and sawtooth in large-volume buildings in Bandung. The effectiveness is assessed by examining lighting performance based on distribution patterns, the value of Daylight Factor (DF), and the Coefficient of Uniformity (CU). Experimental research method with simulation program known as Velux Daylight Visualizer 3.0 is used to present and analyze the lighting data. The results showed that the type, position (openings' height and distance), as well as the opening direction affected the distribution patterns and daylighting performance. Based on the simulation, the skylight opening is the most effective in meeting the standard value of Daylight Factor (> 2%) and Coefficient of Uniformity (CU min. 0.3 and DF min. 0.8%). Thus, space and openings model with a percentage roof area of 16.3% in the simulation can be used as a reference for large-volume buildings because, it meets the requirements of Daylight Factor value and sufficient Coefficient of Uniformity.

Abstract:

Daylighting simulation programs use different methods and algorithms for illuminance calculations in buildings. It is widely known that results of different lighting simulation programs does not have to be the same for two or more identical rooms. Hence CIE issued Technical Report 171: 2006 which presents test cases to assess the accuracy of lighting computer programs. However, these test cases are simple and the accuracy of daylighting computer programs can be different for more complex cases. The purpose of this paper is a comparison of differences in the results computed by various daylighting simulation programs for selected test cases according to CIE 171: 2006 and for more complex cases.

Abstract:

In the autumn of 2002, 14 universities built solar houses on the National Mall in Washington, DC, in a student competition—the Solar Decathlon—demonstrating that homes can derive all the energy they need from the sun and celebrating advances in solar buildings. This paper describes recent progress in solar building technology that expands the designer’s palette and holds the potential to radically improve building energy performance. The discussion includes market conditions and solar resource data; design integration and modeling; window technology, daylighting, passive solar heating; solar water heating; solar ventilation air preheating; building-integrated photovoltaics; and solar cooling. The Solar Decathlon competition highlighted ways in which these strategies are integrated in successful solar buildings.

Abstract:

The attempt at a more sustainable land use by increasing urban density may have a negative effect on the daylighting of residential buildings. In densely built areas, obstructions generated by the surrounding buildings can substantially reduce the available amount of daylight, causing poorly daylit spaces and a less healthy indoor environment with higher electricity consumption as a consequence of artificial lighting. European standard EN 17037, Daylight in Buildings, was established in 2018 to ensure appropriately daylit spaces. In this paper, a three-step methodology was developed to investigate the relationship between certain urban planning parameters and the daylighting of a typical room defined by specific (Slovenian) legislative restrictions about its geometry and minimum required window to floor area ratio, in order to establish the maximum densities of residential developments still fulfilling the minimum requirements for daylight provision defined by EN 17037. The results show that a relatively low urban density is required to fulfil the stipulations for minimum daylight provision for the deepest permissible room according to the Slovenian legislation. The impact of the development floor area ratio on the daylighting potential of buildings was identified as significant, followed by the site coverage, development layout, and building typology. Furthermore, the developed methodological approach clearly demonstrates a substantial potential for application in urban planning, with indoor daylight environmental conditions being linked to the planning of residential developments in the earliest stages of the project.
