Daylighting Simulation Transforms Architectural Design, Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Occupant Comfort.
The researchers focused on teaching students about natural lighting in architecture, aiming to help them understand how to blend aesthetics with energy efficiency. They used a learning method that lets students solve real problems on their own. In Hong Kong's challenging environment, they explored how to balance natural light and solar heat for eco-friendly design. The researchers also stressed the importance of accurately representing images on computers. Overall, the project aimed to show students how to work with natural light effectively in architectural design.
