Integration Issues for Using Innovative Daylighting Strategies in Light Wells

Abstract

ABSTRACT:"Light well" as one of the most common means of daylight tolls in building, experiences severe limitations and deserve special attention. The question is which strategy is the best for increasing the daylight penetration to the depth of buildings. One of the main challenges in deep plan is to guide daylight into the building core and this can be performed through daylighting strategies, but the choice of the proper innovative daylighting system (IDS) with several parameters is the problem. This paper aims to find elements for optimal choice and selecting context-compatible tools for light well. The result shows that four macro factors were found at the interaction of building and IDS. Identifying the integration components can play an effective role in decision-making or design a new tolls consistent with the physical conditions of light well and building to overcome the daylight crisis. * Corresponding author.

Decision making criteria for Optimal Selection of Innovative Daylighting Systems in Buildings, Using Integrated Delphi/Dematel/AHP Approach

“…Given the importance of the subject and the potential of innovative daylighting technologies in promoting the lighting efficiency of buildings, it is necessary to discover the challenges of selecting the right daylighting tools to pick the one out of the many technologies that proves compatible with the conditions of the platform on which it is implemented. Hence, a comprehensive review study was conducted on the daylight crisis in buildings in order to identify the criteria affecting the compatibility of new daylighting systems with buildings [20], [21]. Accordingly, the factors affecting the performance of daylighting systems were extracted and classified under 4 major areas and 7 aspects.…”
