To realize a "green building", the commissioning process of designing is vital. Projects adopted in the sustainable building pilot program were investigated by interviewing designers, engineers and consultants. Commissioning works such as various goal settings, could be seen during the design process. Designers and engineers are expanding their expertise to assess environmental aspects, while collaborating with consultants to create sophisticated simulations and measurements in their design. However, in several projects, international standard such as performance goal-settings and analysis in early design phases were unaccomplished.
Daylighting simulation technology is definitely helpful in architectural design, especially as technology has rapidly developed recently. However, without a thorough understanding of its indexes and criteria, a simulation can causes an undesirable and inappropriate analysis for architectural design. Based on a wide range of document investigation, this paper examines the characteristics of the daylighting indexes and daylight acquisition and discomfort glare, and the current situation of daylight evaluation system in Japan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
