Two conference papers on the modeling and simulation of daylight redirection were presented at the ICBEST Istanbul: Interdisciplinary Perspectives for future building envelopes on 17th of May.
ZT Kazanasmaz of Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) presented “Climate Based Daylight Simulations with EvalDRC: Analysis of Daylight Redirecting Components”. The paper, authored by C Bauer, S Wittkopf, an ZT Kazanasmaz, introduced a simulation environment implementing the recommendation for the combination of spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) and Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) and showed its exemplary application in a daylighting course course for students of architecture at IZTECH. The software was developed for our research project “Modeling and Simulation of Daylight Redirecting Systems” (supported by the Swiss National Sciences Foundation, SNSF #147053, 2013-2016).
LO Grobe presented ongoing work on the development of “High-Resolution Data-Driven Models of Daylight Redirecting Components” as part of our ongoing project “High Resolution Complex Glazing Library BIMSOL” (supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, #SI501427-01) in a paper authored by LO Grobe, S Wittkopf, and ZT Kazanasmaz. Models of daylight redirecting components were generated from measured BSDF data and evaluated for effects due to interpolation, extrapolation and data-reduction.
Both conference papers were expanded into articles and were published as part of a special issue of the Journal of Facade Design and Engineering.
