BEHAVIOR:
- keep the AC on- set up the thermostat at
very low temperature- let the door of air
conditioned room open
EQUIPMENTS:
- use CRT monitor more than LCD or LED
- choose improper capacity of the AC

SURVEY:
‐ total cooling load: 96.5 W/m2.h ‐ the highest month: May and
coolest month: February
‐ uneven distribution of daylight level due to large classrooms

IMPLEMENTATION SCENARIO
PROPOSAL
Energy Performance Map of Fenestration Design in Urban Context Based on Sky View Factor
Backgrounds:Fenestration has an important role in creating thermally and visually comfortable indoor space, which affect the occupant performance, productivity and health. In many cases major heat loss or heat gains is through fenestration.Urban environment affects the fenestration performance by modifying the daylight and the solar radiation availability in buildings.Geometry of urban structure is usually represented by Sky View Factor (SVF).

Theoritical review:Fenestration affects the energy use in a building through four basic mechanisms, i.e. thermal heat transfer, solar heat gain, air leakage and daylighting. Energy flows through fenestration via conductive and convective heat transfer caused by temperature difference between outdoor and indoor air, net long-wave radiative exchange between the fenestration and its surroundings, and between the glazing layers, and short-wave solar radiation incident on the fenestration products (ASHRAE, 2009).Shading devices modify window’s SHGC.Fenestration as daylight admission can reduce substantial energy use by displacement of the need for electric lighting during daytime. The energy use for supplementary lighting depends on the glazing visible transmittance (Tv) and the window glazing area. U, SHGC, air leakage and Tv are the instantaneous energy performance indices typically used to compare fenestration systems under fixed conditions (ASHRAE, 2009). Advanced technology in glazing creates new products with low SHGC or/and Uvalue, and high VLT.
Tinianov, 2010 Binarti, 2005 Binarti et al., 2012
Literature review:Rules of fenestration design to achieve indoor comfort has been widely discussed and applied during several decades. Rule of thumb has been recognized in daylighting and thermal design as practical guidance for fenestration design, hence for the energy design of the fenestration. Window-head-height to room depth ratio was introduced as DRT since the Green Vitruvius era. Later several building guidelines, codes and standards prescribe different versions with recommended ratios ranged from 1.5 to 2. Reinhart reviewed that its validity was based on Radiance simulations of rectangular sidelit spaces with standard interior surface reflectances for a variety of climates, facade orientations, façade geometries, and usage patterns. (Reinhart, 2004) Daylight factor (DF) has been widely used as prime daylighting rule of thumb (DRT) to describe the ratio of indoor illuminance level to the external illuminance level. Ibrahim (2009) proposed equations of Daylight Factor which can be applied under certain conditions. He did not address the issue of direct sunlight and heat gain.

Theoritical review:Daylight and thermal performance of fenestration design depend so much on the external conditions, i.e. daylight and solar radiation availability. Sky View Angle (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1997) or Sky Solid Angle (Capeluto, 2003) or Vertical Daylight Factor (Li, D. et al, 2008) has been used as a criterion to justify the daylight penetration in buildings. Sabry et al. (2010) found, there is a significant difference in daylighting performance when the distance of external obstruction increases and the external reflectance changes, although the sky view angle remains constant.Pereira et al. (2007) proposed Preferential Sky Window as a parameter of urban daylight availability.

Theoritical review:Kesten et al. (2012) presented a method to quantify the energy performance in urban quarter in Stuttgart. The results showed that the neighbor’s height to width ratio, spacing distance and frontal depth to length ratio can modify the building energy demand.Sky View Factor (SVF) is an important parameter of radiation geometry in built up areas (Chen et al., 2010). It describes radiation received/emitted by a planar surface at a site compared with that received/emitted on a surface without obstruction of the horizon.Compagnon (2004) described SVF as the ratio of the illuminance (Ei) and a uniform sky model of arbitrary luminance (L) : Ei/πL . SVF distribution is used as an indication of outdoor daylight factor distribution.

Objectives:1. To classify urban area based on Sky View Factor (SVF) as a measure of solar
irradiation and daylight availability in urban area.2. To provide information about energy performance of fenestration designs in
urban context which is classified by the SVF.3. To investigate correlation between SVF (and other factors of urban
environment) and the energy performance of fenestration design.
4. To develop a proposed urban morphology and texture which can improve the energy performance of fenestration design.
5. To investigate most suitable fenestration design for specific urban texture and building type

SkyHelios is helpful to estimate radiation fluxes and mean radiant temperature in urban and complex situation accurately. Input data base can be from digital elevation models (DEM), data concerning urban obstacles (OBS) or other digital files. Data produced from SkyHelios can be imported directly in RayMan to run calculation of the thermal indices and estimate the SVF (Matzarakis, 2012).

3. Indoor thermal and daylight simulation of fenestration designs:
Some energy modeling softwares are:
Ecotect is an environmental analysis software, which consists of facilities to compute lighting simulation, thermal performance, acoustic simulation, solar exposure, shading design, etc. in single package. One model can be used for several kinds of simulation. Calculation of room thermal load has considered thermal load from lighting. The energy used to achieve visual comfort must be simulated separately.
