Rusovan, Danijel and Brotas, Luisa (2012) Minimum form, maximum performance. In: 2nd Masters Conference: People and Buildings, 18 September 2012, London Metropolitan University, Graduate Centre. London, UK.
With increased sophistication of digital tools in assessing daylight and energy in buildings, a great potential exists to optimize the performance of contemporary building façades. On one hand daylight is welcome and has several benefits. On the other hand, there is a need to reduce the energy consumption in buildings. In this paper, four types of building envelopes are simulated in terms of climate-based metrics and energy consumption. The first two types have 40% window-to-wall ratio (WWR), with one of them having a light shelf. The third and fourth are 100% WWR with one of them having a parametrically driven fixed screen. This study aims to find an optimum solution in terms of daylight and energy use for cooling, heating and artificial lighting for the climate conditions of London, UK by using the integrated simulation approach (daylight and thermal simulation).
