“…Analyzing three visual planes could require much more time [7]; therefore, it could be interesting to choose the representative workplane for each activity, which adds more information according to the other visual planes. However, usually in an activity, we could have a previous light state and that information could be determinant to find the real light perception.…”

“…Usually, in some activities, it is necessary to have an intermediate-relation plane and out-rest plane in order to have visual comfort and to keep attention [6]. However, in daylight metrics is common to use basic workplanes to evaluate, owing to simplify the real complex scene [7]. Sometimes, these calculations are simplified and do not get very close to the real situation, only considering one workplane condition.…”

Transition Planes for Visual Comfort: Out View with Complex Fenestration System Design at Restaurants in Spain

et al. 2021

This work deals with daylighting for quality indoor atmospheres, considering building skins. In recent years, almost all retrofit facades of restaurants are highly glazed façades, boosting glare, sun ray absorption and overheating inside. Most of the time, they are not integrated with daylight control; therefore, lighting and out view requirements are not so balanced. Taking into account this daylighting complexity, an alternative façade system is proposed to simulate by Radiance. Previously, perception simulations are compared with measured data, in order to discretize the simulations. In addition, for one point three different view are assessed as: work plane, relation plane and the out plane. Subsequently, two virtual façade models, windows combined by complex fenestration system (CFS) as prismatic film (PF) and highly glazed façade, are tested according to daylighting. For that, three indexes have been used: daylight glare probability (DGP), daylight glare index (DGI) and daylight autonomy (DA). The results show that the proposed complex façade has a good light contribution with less absorption, while maintaining the outside view. In addition, the DGI is needed to test the out plane, because DGP is more suitable for lower luminance; therefore, each visual plane should be assessed regarding different visual comfort conditions, or parameters and methods. Accordingly, the mean DGI result of window combined by CFS is approximately lower in 5% than highly glazed façade. However, the DA of highly glazed is higher in 5%, but the DA of window combined by CFS is enough, above 80%. Definitely, the complex scene at restaurant with the proposed integrated façade system improves light performance and indoor atmosphere.

“…The suggested strategy considered both daylight and energy performance and resulted in an overall improvement of building energy-efficiency. Recent developments in daylighting simulation (Jones and Reinhart, 2019) allowed the quick prediction of advanced glare metrics (i.e., Daylight Glare Probability), therefore facilitating the study of controlling DSS using either building energy performance or visual comfort criteria. Moreover, in current standards, guidelines, and codes related to the visual domain, shading control schemas for visual comfort are commonly included.…”

Evaluation methods of the daylight performance and potential energy saving of tubular daylight guide systems: A review

In the past 30 years, tubular daylight guide systems (TDGSs) have become one of the most popular ways to transport outdoor natural light into the inner space in building design. However, tubular daylight guide systems are not widely used because of the lack of methods to evaluate methods on the suitability of the TDGSs. This study therefore summarizes the daylight performance metrics of TDGSs and presents the estimation methods in terms of field measurements, simulation and empirical formulae. This study focuses on the daylight performance and potential energy savings of TDGSs. Moreover, this study will be helpful for building designers to build healthy, comfortable and energy-saving indoor environment.
