Dynamic Solar Shading and Glare Control for Human Comfort and Energy Efficiency at UCSD: Integrated Design and Simulation Strategies

摘要

The University of California San Diego is in the design process for a new 177,000 square foot (16,444 square meter) Health Science Research Laboratory (HSRB2) on its main campus in La Jolla, CA. Based the on experience and mission of the institution, a goal for the project was set to create as nearly as possible a daylight-autonomous laboratory building and to create a facade system that would yield the maximum daylight benefit with minimal cooling penalty despite a context where site constraints dictate a multi-story structure with glazing facing largely due east and west. The extreme dynamic solar exposure suggests a dynamic solar and light control system. This paper describes criteria development, design, simulation, and analysis findings used to develop and specify the optimized system currently in construction.
