Daylight-optimized office facades could slash energy costs and boost productivity
The article analyzes how advanced facade systems can control daylight in office buildings in Ankara to save energy. By using shading and reflection techniques, the researchers designed different facade elements to maximize daylight and minimize glare. They used software to simulate the effects of these designs on thermal and visual comfort. The study aims to find the best facade design for an office module in Ankara that optimizes daylight and reduces glare.
