THE EFFECTS OF LIGHT SHELF ON DYNAMIC DAYLIGHT PERFORMANCE IN TROPICAL BUILDINGS-A CASE STUDY

摘要

In this paper, we evaluated the effects of light shelf on dynamic daylight performance in tropical office buildings. Thereby, a systematic approach toward dynamic daylight performance was conducted. The approach was exemplified using the case study of two selected offices in an air-conditioned office building located in Singapore. A set of variants was then generated based on eight investigated configurations and compared. This study contributed to the assessment of the daylight performance and facilitating a detailed and dynamic daylight performance model for retrofit and enhancement alternatives (involving building envelope components) in view of building integrity, visual, and energy performance in future stage.
