| Abstract |
This study was to investigate the architectural planning elements of circadian systems and visual comfort in daylighting design. The main
attributes in the human-based daylighting design were categorized, based on the reviews of the articles published last 10 years. View
directions and distance from windows among characteristics of the comparative analysis were weighted more in the circadian system and the
visual comfort. Material reflectance, sizes of windows, orientations of windows and shading devices affect greatly on the daylighting design.
Higher material reflectance is the most economical and effective way for the healthier circadian system. Installing shading devices is the
easiest method for better visual comfort. Big skylights are effective for good views and circadian system, but their high glare may bring low
visual comfort. The daylighting design is executed in the early phase of a building design process, but daylighting factors related with the
circadian system and the visual comfort are hardly considered in the process. The variables are not matched to keep the circadian system and
the visual comfort properly. The results show various evidences for the importance that circadian system and visual comfort for efficient
daylighting environments should be integrated in the building design process. |
