To utilize Radiance and Matlab software with high dynamic range imaging to meet visual comfort and light level standards
Technology & Design
Description
This project presents Radiance-Matlab visualisations that are conducted for daylighting optimization in office spaces. High dynamic range images are processed to document design conditions measured against established standards of visual comfort and needed light levels for circadian rhythm entrainment. Assessed lighting indices include luminance ratios, daylight glare index, vertical illuminance and its duration of exposure at eye level. An investigation is conducted based on the effect of a multitude of variables including façade orientation, seasonal variation, sky conditions, task type, glazing height and visible transmittance values.
