Lichttechnisches und energetisches Verhalten von Fassaden moderner Verwaltungsbauten – Teil 1: Lichttechnisches Verhalten

Daylight and thermal energy performance of facades in office buildings, Part 1: Daylight performance. Regarding the impact on indoor illumination facade systems have to provide an appropriate visual indoor environment. In addition daylight penetrating the room through the facades should favourably influence the overall building energy balance. Daylight utilization can directly reduce energy consumption for electric lighting and can indirectly – due to the higher luminous efficacy of daylight compared to commonly used artificial lighting systems – reduce the thermal loads within the conditioned building spaces. In part 1 of this contribution the influence of different facade solutions on room illumination is systematically investigated by means of a parametric study of significant room, outdoor, environmental and climatic parameters for ten facade systems. The facade systems considered are conventional, permanently shaded, and light redirecting systems. The analysis of system performance is based on newly developed characteristics which allow the analysis and optimization of different facade systems under working conditions. Part 2 of the contribution shows the energetic interaction of the facade dependent internal loads by artificial lighting system and solar heat gains.
