Existed for 26 years.
domain
(subject of study)Commercial/ Institutional buildings
Large scale owners
Energy performance through daylighting and energy simulation
methodology
(procedures)lighting analysis (radiance)
energy analysis (some empirical) (MatLab)
thermal model, simulations
user surveys (survey, biometric...)
Analog methods for schematic design:
- Heliodon
- Artificial Sky
Precise Computational methods for finalized work:
- Radiance
- Vasari
- Ecotect
evaluation
(good from bad)- lighting-distribution for needs (objective), some subjectivity from users,
- energy-total consumption (objective)
- occupant satisfaction
- Questions standards, objective and subjective
