Time-varied daylighting performance to enable a goal-driven design process
… and easily understood by the designer. In daylighting analysis, research has been moving towards dynamic daylighting metrics, which include both annual performance indicators and local climate conditions. Temporally-based graphics are one method of annual data display which shows great …

Decision-Making Framework for the Selection and Design of Shading Devices
… a guide for the user in analyzing shading device performance in the process of selection/design of the shading device. This research also develops a specific DMF to better understand and validate the general DMF. The specific DMF, based on illuminance and luminance, is used for an analysis of …

An interactive performance-based expert system for daylighting in architectural design
… during the design process; however, building performance simulation continues to be more commonly utilized for analysis rather than as a design aid. Additionally, while simulation tools provide the user with valuable information, they do not necessarily guide the designer towards changes which …

A system for optimizing interior daylight distribution using reflective Venetian blinds with independent blind angle control
… blind angle control is developed to optimize the daylighting performance of a system of reflective Venetian blinds. Numerical modeling and experiment confirm that independent control of alternating blinds yields adequate visual comfort and daylight distribution to a distance of 10 m from the …

Daylit density : a simulation-based framework towards performance-aware zoning and real estate development
… before construction. Recent advances in building performance simulation software allow us to compute annual climate-based daylight performance metrics of urban environments accurately, in high spatial resolution and in a timely manner. Given that zoning requirements as well as massing design …

Study of the thermal and optical performance of building integrated Si photovoltaics
… electricity generation, heat gain reduction and daylighting. With fabrication costs comparative with conventional double-glazed systems, it is highly expected that STPVs have a strong potential to dominate the fenestration market in the near future. After major advances in the PV industry, there …
