ARCH 655 Project 2 1. Project Objective This project aims to find the optimal window to wall ratio and the number of facade shadings that meets LEED version 4 daylighting criteria. The target model is Lotte World Tower created in Project 1. 2. Geometry Decision for Daylighting Analysis I decided to analyze daylighting for a single floor to reduce the computational cost for the simulation. The indoor area of the 10th floor was chosen for daylighting analysis. Windows are (as shown below figure) curtain panel styles and built on the surface of the outside wall. These are the outside walls and facade shadings for daylighting analysis. 3. Parametric Modeling The first step is to create floors. Once the floors, walls, and shadings are ready, I linked them to the Honeybee zone identifier. And add windows to walls and set transmittance factor to windows. I used 60% transmittance for windows. Then, I created grids on the 10th floor f
ARCH 653 Project 2 1. Objective This project aims to perform daylighting analyses for Lotte World Tower spaces. The change in parameters of the building facade can result in different daylighting effects. LEED version 4 defines that sDA (spatial daylight autonomy) represents how much of space receives sufficient daylight and it should be over 75. So, this project changes the width of curtain panel windows and analyzes the following daylight factors. 2. Facade Design The curtain panel chosen for this project is shown in the below figure. It has shading walls on each side. The width of the shading walls can be changed parametrically. The middle part is composed of windows. The panel was then placed on the facade of the model. 3. Dynamo - Daylight Analysis The project used the Honeybee tool to analyze daylighting. For the analysis, Revit 2019 and Dynamo version 1.3.3 or lower are required since the tool hasn't been updated yet for Revit 2020 and Dynamo 2.0. The t
