OTHER FLOOR PLANS

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.

Duration: 09.2019- 11.2019

Academic Work, Cooperation with Yang Fei

Simulation

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

02 simulation runs spring & fall - 09:00 summer - 09:00

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.

03 analysis pick angles that satisfy both glare control and daylight requirements

Control Logic

GOAL control glare ensure sufficient daylight block/receive solar heat gain to lower energy consumption winter - 09:00

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

Interior

Detail Section

500mm cavity with dynamic shading inside Inside layer operable for maintenance daylight effect at differet times of a day
