Abstract The absence or improper use of shading on the glazing of building windows causes overheating which increases both cooling load and glare, especially in the hot desert climate. However, integrating Daylighting Systems appropriately into building windows can contribute to reducing energy consumption by effectively utilizing daylight as a renewable resource instead of depending only on artificial light. This can help in achieving green, sustainable, high performance, and energy-efficient buildings. This paper proposes a set of integrated Daylighting Systems into building windows to optimize the energy efficiency performance of office buildings in the hot desert climate. The integration of individual and collective Daylighting Systems with different configurations are explored to generate an extensive set composed of 87 alternatives in three different orientations. The energy simulation is conducted for these alternatives to investigate their performance on reducing the electric energy consumption of cooling and artificial lighting. The optimal set of energy-efficient integrated Daylighting Systems is determined based on the highest performance of reducing energy consumption for cooling and lighting while maintaining visual and thermal comfort. This optimal set of integrations is formulated into a multi-level utilization guide for facilitating the appropriate selection of optimal energy-efficient Daylighting Systems into building windows. This utilization guide will assist building designers to optimize the energy efficiency performance of buildings by selecting the most appropriate Daylighting Systems to be integrated into building windows. Such performance-based utilization guide will aid designers in making decisions from the perspectives of energy efficiency, and visual and thermal comfort.

确定最佳节能集成采光系统到建筑窗户中

摘要 建筑物窗户玻璃上没有或不正确使用遮阳会导致过热，从而增加冷负荷和眩光，特别是在炎热的沙漠气候中。然而，将采光系统适当地集成到建筑窗户中可以有效地利用日光作为可再生资源，而不是仅依赖人造光，从而有助于减少能源消耗。这有助于实现绿色、可持续、高性能和节能建筑。本文提出了一套集成的采光系统到建筑窗户中，以优化办公建筑在炎热沙漠气候下的能效性能。探索了具有不同配置的个人和集体采光系统的集成，以生成由三个不同方向的 87 个替代方案组成的广泛集合。对这些替代方案进行了能源模拟，以研究它们在降低冷却和人工照明电能消耗方面的性能。最佳的节能集成采光系统是根据在保持视觉和热舒适度的同时降低冷却和照明能耗的最高性能确定的。This optimal set of integrations is formulated into a multi-level utilization guide for facilitating the appropriate selection of optimal energy-efficient Daylighting Systems into building windows. 本使用指南将帮助建筑设计师通过选择最合适的采光系统集成到建筑窗户中来优化建筑的能效性能。这种基于性能的使用指南将帮助设计人员从能源效率、视觉和热舒适度的角度做出决策。
