- Abstract
- This report investigates the relationship between energy requirements for heating, cooling and lighting, and building fenestration design. Particular emphasis is given to the effect of the use of daylight to offset electric lighting needs. The computer simulation procedure used for the analysis is a hybrid version of BLAST and CEL-1, which allows detailed modeling of building heat transfer, HVAC systems, and lighting systems. The evaluation encompasses five locations, and the results are presented in the form of generalized design guidelines and figures, on the basis of building thermal mass and exposed wall area.
