Description
Pham Vu Hong Son and Vo Thi Bich Huyen optimize west facing rooms for daylight in this 2023 study. West glass overheats and glares in the afternoon, yet green building rules under LEED demand solid daylight. The pair set out to satisfy both.
Using parametric models, an optimizer modeled on vulture search behavior, and checked daylight simulations, they searched facade designs. The winning designs reached full LEED compliance and beat random designs on daylight sufficiency and glare control. Light colored materials and clear glazing helped most. The authors admit heavy computing cost and a need for real world validation. They propose comparing other optimizers and testing more climates, materials, and building types next.
