Development of an integrated methodology for the daylight assessment of commercial buildings employing dynamic shading devices or kinetic envelope systems
Summary:
This paper discusses the development of a strategy for evaluating daylight metrics in commercial buildings with dynamic envelopes, and applies this method to a case study.
Categories
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the use of dynamic shading devices and kinetic envelope systems in commercial buildings to optimize daylight distribution and reduce energy loads.
- Well-being: The paper discusses the positive effects of natural light on human behavior, physiology, and psychology, including its role in regulating the circadian clock.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that natural light stimulates cognitive abilities and alertness.
- Depression: The paper mentions that natural light can inhibit the onset of seasonal depression.
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how natural light influences our sleep/wake cycle and can cause sleep/wake shifting.
- Eye health: The paper discusses how natural light can cause discomfort issues such as eye strain and glare.
