Optimising Daylighting Strategies for Energy Efficiency in Office Building
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Architecture
Abstract
Daylighting optimization in office buildings is pivotal for enhancing energy efficiency and improving occupant comfort and well-being. This research explores various daylighting techniques such as using dynamics shading systems, advanced glazing technologies and daylight-responsive lighting controls. By integrating these strategies, buildings can significantly reduce their reliance on artificial lighting, decreasing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The study reviews case studies and simulation-based analyses to evaluate the performance of different daylighting interventions. Results show that well-designed daylighting can achieve up to 40% savings in lighting energy use while maintaining visual comfort. Some key factors such as building orientation, window-to-wall ratio, and local climate conditions significantly influence the effectiveness of the daylighting strategies. The study also emphasizes the integration of automated systems for maximum energy savings and improving indoor environmental quality. |This comprehensive approval supports sustainable building practices operational cost savings and enhancing productivity in office environments
