Proposed Outcomes
General
- Generic descriptions of daylighting requirements for inclusion
in codes
- Technology roadmap for designers with performance targets
- Guidelines for control system interface design to account for
user reaction
- User friendly computer tool releases with working documents on
plug-in specifications for sky models and complex fenestration
systems
- Guidelines on appropriate use of tools
- The transference of results to architects, engineers, industry
and building owners by means of workshops, regional support groups
and the international web site that includes: data sets of user
preferences, building performance targets, cost benefit studies and
case studies of noteworthy buildings.
Subtask A
- Algorithms for computer software to predict user response for
designing daylit environments with their lighting and shading
control systems
- Guidelines on the use of these algorithms in daylighting and
energy simulation software
Subtask B
- Simplified design process roadmap
- Performance benchmarks that quantify potential savings
- Procedures to calibrate and commission key daylighting control
systems
- Test room and building performance data for tool validation
- Measured total system performance data to increase building
owner confidence
Subtask C
- New algorithms for sky models and fenestration systems
- Plug-in specifications for visual comfort algorithms (Subtask A)
- Plug-ins for fenestrations systems and sky models
- Internet based catalogue of tools
- New data sets for integrated systems (Subtask B)
- Extended validation data sets
Subtask D
- The establishment of data bases including:
bibliography, the benefits of daylighting techniques, survey of
productivity benefits, cost benefit studies, case studies
- Establishment of infrastructure of daylighting support groups
and material for same
