Overheating and Daylighting Assessment Tool in Early Design of ...
High-rise residential buildings in dense cities, such as London, are a common response to housing shortage. The apartments in these buildings may experience different levels of thermal and visual comfort, depending on their orientation and floor level. This paper aims to develop simplified tools to predict internal temperatures and daylighting levels, and propose a tool to quickly assess ...
Effect of unit layout and faade design on high
The rapid urban population growth and land scarcity in major cities have resulted in the development of high -density, high-rise apartment buildings as a common urban housing typology. Given their density and layout efficiency, apartment living units usually rely on windows on one side to receive natural lighting despite the abundance of daylight in the tropical climate. Therefore, this paper ...
Moreover, it is increasingly necessary to examine the daylighting design of high-rise residential buildings, considering the share of residential buildings in the construction sector, the duration of occupation and the changing space requirements.
Thus, most apartment living units rely on windows on one side to receive natural lighting [9, 10]. Moreover, studies have indicated that indoor environmental quality is one of the main problems distinguishing high-rise apartments from other low- rise /single-family houses [11].
Such details provide a deeper understanding and appreciation for High Rise Apartment Day Lighting.
Old and compartmentalized plants, small openings, and lower floors receive scarce natural light. Improving natural lighting in an apartment can be challenging. However, some strategies can help ...
Overview of High-Rise Apartment Day Lighting
Users will be introduced to the Daylighting Pattern Guide while exploring the inter-relationship of sky, site, aperture, and space planning. The guide uses a combination of built examples and advanced simulation to set the stage for substantial reductions in lighting power consumption and overall energy use through successful daylighting design.
