Daylighting refers to architectural design that allows natural light into buildings. Daylighting provides many benefits, including increased productivity, enhanced outdoor connection, improved health, and energy savings. As a result, it’s highly desirable in educational settings. Numerous certifications for high-performance buildings feature daylighting as part of their rubrics. They cite daylighting as fundamentally important to sustainable design by connecting occupants with the external environment, reducing the need for electrical lighting, as well as, improving the users’ health, creating energy savings, and offering higher-quality light. Effective incorporation of daylighting into a buildings design strategy requires early and thorough attention. It involves advanced technical skills and mastery of traditional design and construction principles. In this course you will learn how to: 1- Build your analytical model in Rhino for daylight simulations2- Add sensor grids to your analytical model.3- Add wall material and louvers to your analytical model.4- Set up a daylight simulation for a specific date and time of the year using Honeybee and Ladybug.5- Get the Illumination results of your case study.6- Build, run, and visualize the results of the Daylight autonomy recipe.7- Get the results of UDI, SDA & CDA.8- Set up a view-based study to evaluate glare potential from a given perspective in a room.
