PRE THESIS : GIRIH PATTERN AS A FACADE DESIGN SYSTEM

This study has conducted on developing an approach for analysis of daylighting and visual comfort through a kinetic facade shading system as well as proposed pattern of Iranian Traditional Girih Tile. The model was simulated in the Velux simulation software were performed in order to evaluate daylighting and visual comfort performance. The objectives are to develop a girih pattern as a facade design system, determine the framework of the kinetic facade design system that can achieve the amount of illuminance level based on the malaysian standard 1525 and to implement the kinetic facade design system on the propose building.The results showed that the proposed model could significantly improve the shading flexibility to control daylight , by applying the kinetic facade system the daylight could achieve the standard of illuminance level based on Malaysian standard 1525 in the proposed building
