North Facade

Dynamic facades have the potential to add to the architectural expression of a building by visualizing the changeable aspects of the environment. With the help of daylight simulation, we designed a kinetic modular system that can regulate indoor daylight environment.

Simulation

01 Test Model

basic office unit (3m x 5m x 3m), south facade, Boston. 30 degree rotation steps.

02 Simulation Runs

36 angle combinations, 11 hours every day (8:00am – 6:00pm), 3 typical day every year (3.20, 6.21, 12.21). A total of 1188 simulation runs.

spring & fall - 09:00 summer - 09:00

03 analysis pick angles that satisfy both glare control and daylight requirements winter - 09:00

Control Logic

GOAL control glare ensure sufficient daylight block/receive solar heat gain to lower energy consumption

Hourly Sun Exposure (HSE) HSE exceeds 1000 lux per hour for less than 10% of floor area

Hourly spatial Daylight Autonomy (HsDA) HsDA exceeds 300 lux for at least 55% of the floor area preferably open when ambient temperture < 20°C preferably closed when ambient temperture > 20°C double-glazing system motor concealed
