“…Changes in the data of reference models for different climate information are usually not recorded or tracked. The schematic diagram and its parameters determined by evidence-based methods are provided as default values to users and other tasks that require rapid simulation [49][50][51]59,66,73]. Obviously, all professional information acquired based on experimental experience, engineering judgment, a series of trials and errors, and catalog information also belongs to the core component of the expert knowledge system [41,50,75,109,114,137,143].…”

As most countries have widespread and growing concerns about the sustainable development of society, the requirement to continuously reduce energy consumption poses challenges for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Performance-oriented architectural design and optimization, as a novel design philosophy and comprehensive evolution technology, has been accepted by architects, engineers, and stakeholders for a period of time. Performance in the context of architecture is a widely discussed definition that has long shown a correlation with visual and cultural attributes. Shifting the paradigm of sustainable development while ensuring that the function and aesthetics of the building are not overlooked has been the focus of public attention. Considering the core design elements that affect energy conservation and style performance, the design and optimization of building envelopes, form, and shading systems were selected as research materials. From the perspective of epistemology and methodology, a systematic review of 99 papers was conducted to promulgate the latest development status of energy-efficiency design. This paper manifests a detailed analysis of the design patterns, research features, optimization objectives, and techniques of current approaches. The review found that performance-oriented design optimization can benefit the entire industry from the heuristic knowledge base and the expansion of the design space while maintaining sustainability. In contrast, challenges such as tools, skills, collaboration frameworks, and calibration models are highlighted.

“…To ensure visual safety and efficacy during work time, the illuminance of reference planes should meet the threshold-the illuminance standard value (ISV). Based on existing reports and literature, the daylight illuminance (DI) is considered to be effective either as the sole source (300-3000 lx) or coordinated with lighting (100-300 lx) [56]. According to the GB 50034-2013 code, the ISV for offices is 300 lx and the reference plane is 0.75 m horizontally.…”

“…Since reference point P1 accepts more south and west windows at the same time, its illuminance is higher than point P2. According to existing research, daylight illuminances in the 300-3000 lx range are often perceived either as desirable or at least tolerable [56]. In addition, human vision is more sensitive to lighting contrast in an area than to the daylighting amount.…”

“…The effects of direct and diffuse solar radiation on the occupants' thermal sensation and visual comfort are mentioned further in the work chapter. Chi et al analyzed the relation between daylighting and yearly energy consumption for heating and cooling [5]. It was shown that by confining the overlit area, important energy savings may be obtained.…”

Glazing plays a key role in the energy balance of buildings. The aim of this paper is to enlighten the thermal discomfort caused by large glazed areas in the heating season and to point out a possible solution that can provide proper thermal comfort with low energy use. It is unusual to discuss the negative effects of solar gains on thermal comfort during the heating season. However, there are cases when glazing may lead to unforeseen indoor thermal discomfort conditions. Laboratory and on site measurements were performed in order to assess thermal discomfort caused by direct and diffuse radiation. It was shown that the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) index may exceed even 30 °C in the winter season in a room having large glazed area oriented to east. Laboratory tests performed in climate chamber have shown that the high PMV values cannot be reduced below 1.0, increasing the air change rate in the room. Using opaque drapes, the WBGT index was reduced by 2 °C, but the daylighting decreased substantially. It was demonstrated that by using advanced personalized ventilation systems, the appropriate thermal comfort can be provided avoiding the reduction of daylighting.
