Daylighting And Energy Modeling

Focusing on the interplay between façade design and energy efficiency, this work presents an integrated model to analyze how different architectural choices impact energy consumption and occupant comfort. Through full-scale experiments, it validates various façade options and innovative shading controls aimed at optimizing daylight use while reducing energy needs. The study examines multiple variables, including window sizes and types, and conducts uncertainty and sensitivity analyses, highlighting that shading strategies and glazing properties significantly influence energy consumption.
