Transparent Office Facades Slash Electricity Costs, Boost Daylight Comfort
The article discusses how the design of office building facades impacts natural lighting and visual comfort. By using simulation programs, the researchers studied how different glazing systems can optimize daylight usage and reduce electricity consumption for lighting. They found that the design of the office space and the glazing system can work together to achieve natural visual comfort and environmental efficiency. The simulation program helped analyze the building's facade and external elements to determine the best form for visual performance and efficiency.
