Abstract

One of the most efficient ways to reduce the energy consumption of artificial lighting is through the proper use of daylight in indoor spaces. However, current regulations governing the use of daylight in indoor spaces are outdated and in some cases are not easy to apply. Thus, designers are not encouraged to seek energy efficient solutions that enhance the use of daylight to illuminate interior spaces during daytime hours. This paper proposes a simplified model for calculating the useful daylight illuminance (UDI) for individual perimeter rooms under clear skies. This model seeks to combine the precision and validity of dynamic simulations in the study of daylight, in a simple and appropriate prediction tool for professionals in real environments.
