Evaluation of the Daylight and Energy Performance of Windows, Skylights, and Clerestories
This paper examines the impact of several fenestration options on building space heating, cooling, and lighting loads. The use of skylights, windows, and clerestories is evaluated for a single floor commercial building, using the NBSLD-2 building energy analysis computer program, which possesses a fully integrated daylight model (DALITE). The evaluation focuses on the impact of daylighting on heating and cooling energy and equipment sizing, the potential reduction in electric lighting energy requirements through daylight utilization, the relative daylighting/thermal performance of skylights, clerestories, and windows, and the effect of building orientation on fenestration optimization and selection.
