Exploring Horizontal and Vertical Illuminance Daylighting Uniformity Metrics
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) promotes effective daylighting responsive electric lighting and controls in the built environment as a means to increase energy efficiency. Integral to effective daylighting design and responsive controls are daylight performance metrics that measure and quantify effectiveness. Interrelated to effective daylighting are the concepts of spatial and temporal uniformity associated with daylight availability in a space. This research develops and tests related metrics by running a set of representative daylighting models to generate sets of data characterizing daylight conditions ranging from uniform to highly dynamic both temporally and spatially. Results of these simulations explore the extent to which proposed metrics accurately describe and assess daylighting uniformity. This research is part of an effort to develop a comprehensive daylighting code that describes base levels and quality of daylight required for various built spaces with the ultimate goal to inform the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 189.1 Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings.
