Daylight Shading Paper

Being environmentally friendly isn’t merely a trend. After thousands of years of using the earth’s resources, we have finally come to realize that we are destroying this beautiful gift we were honored with. Architects play an influential role in trying to preserve this gift by encouraging a multitude of strategies that can be more cost efficient in the long run, be more comfortable for its users, and most importantly, have a lower carbon footprint. Strategies can include drastic changes to heat and air systems, construction material selections, or even specific design details to the architecture of a building that would reduce the amount of energy it consumes.

Heat load on the buildings are reduced through thermally insulated facades and roof, light coloured roofing, natural shading devices.

For commercial buildings, obtaining support with landscape consultation experts will provide options for incorporating solar-powered  lights. This will have a direct impact on reducing overall energy use. The solar lighting industry has excelled in developing styles that are suitable for any type of outdoor landscape.

The surface of a room consists of many surfaces, but the most important one is the ground. The ground resists most architectural evolutional trends throughout history. No matter if it is represented in a section or plan or an “opened-up box” section of Lightoler’s, the ground serves as a base reference, from which all surfaces rise out or folds out from. The ground surface has a permanent value.

Gropius, by adjusting the orientation of each part of building to control the daylight, the hierarchy of which department need more daylights is created, but glazing and over heating still occur through summer. Wright’s smart move by offering light without transparency effectively avoid glazing happens. The gap between mashroom columns provide smooth daylight transfer. Such illuminated enclosed space raise up the efficiency of officers and convenience more significantly than Bauhaus in terms of transparency.

Windows and skylights provide that “natural light” today’s homeowners demand. Be sure and pop by the National Fenestration Rating Council exhibit for information on windows, skylights and doors that conserve energy and provide comfort for the homeowners.

In a modern building daylight can provide most of our lighting needs for the vast majority of the working day. It is therefore unnecessary to spend too much time in designing artificial lighting systems.

We spend almost 90 per cent of times in our homes, which mean we inhale huge amount of indoor air, so it is very easy to see how indoor air quality impact our health. According to the research carried out by Steven E. Ternoey which titled “Day light Every Building”, there are many benefits that human can gain from day light especially in the indoor. From the research, we know that there were noticeably less disciplinary problems and absenteeism in day lit classrooms. Students show positive attitude and easier to focus in the class. In day lit areas, retail sales increases of 8 to 12% were recorded. Human health appears to be measurably benefited by relatively small indoor doses of diffuse daylight. Our body need vitamin D and absorbing of sunlight helps in the making of vitamin D in our body. If we do not get enough day

Residential interior design house stagers that can perform only by the color difference with different shades the same style. Dark colors tend to make a room seem mysterious, brown color will look warm, make the room cooler shades white and blue colors, and so on. If you want a home look brighter, lighter, but still warm. Over the years, statistics show that it is actually more cost-effective for owners to increase of their homes the level of presentation through the use of

By paying attention to the lighting conditions of the site, the window, a crucial element in architectural expression removes itself from the repetitiveness of the universal styles. These add into the factors of climatic control, bringing up the needlessness of artificial climates which need to be maintained within the buildings, rather than the interior climate maintaining itself.

On the other hand, obsolete and deficient equipments in some guest rooms also make the customers unsatisfied with 7 Days Inn. I once complained the small and obsolete TV set in my guest room, because I even could not find CCTV-NEWS channel. Among all the problems about deficient and obsolete equipments, the dullish and yellow lighting in some branch stores is most annoying. Lighting, whose aim is to temporarily receive guests and revivify the staffs, has to be designed for different purposes in different areas. However, in two branch stores that I lodged in, the lightings in corridors were so dim during days and nights, while the lighting color and intensity in the guest rooms was unchangeable. In a hotel, during the day, people are attracted by the interior

In Arthur Radebaugh’s Closer Than We Think series, one of the comic strips titled “24-Hour Daylight” predicts a future where cities are lit up during nighttime using miniature suns. Taken literally and applied to our current time, the premise of the illustration would actually be quite ridiculous, as lighting a city using a star would be unnecessary and excessive. After all, why would anyone choose something as massive, dangerous, and complicated like a star and only use it for lighting? Ever since the invention of the electric lightbulb, adequate lighting during night time has become a non-issue for society. And to add to this, would there ever be a need for bright lighting 24/7? In actuality, Radebaugh may have just embellished his comic strip for the sake of exciting his readers, so there are many possible interpretations to be made on what he was actually predicting.

The research presented in this paper is part of a multiphase experimental research work that examines the effect of various forms and geometries of building envelope elements on indoor environments under different seasonal conditions in hot-arid climate with reference to Egypt. Limitations in understanding environmental and thermal performances of architectural geometries have to some extent hindered their acceptance by building clients and the building industry [1]. Roof is the building-envelope element that is most exposed to the sun. It receives the highest amount of solar irradiance, which is the main cause of summer overheating in hot-arid climates [2]. In addition to other climatic and physical factors, indoor thermal comfort in
