Course participants will acquire a range of daylighting design analysis techniques ranging from rules of thumb to state-of-the-art computer simulations and high dynamic range photography for glare analysis. The main simulation programs used will be Rhino combined with our <a href="http://www.diva-for-rhino.com/">DIVA plug-in</a> that exports Rhino scenes into Radiance, Daysim, Evalglare and – starting this summer- EnergyPlus. Simulation outputs include:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Daylight factor and indoor illuminance distributions for LEED IEQ Credit 8.1 Compliance (Radiance)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Annual radiation maps for urban studies<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Climate-based metrics including daylight autonomy and useful daylight illuminance (Radiance/Daysim)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Physically based scene visualizations (Radiance)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Glare analysis under selected sky conditions(Radiance/Evalglare)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Annual glare maps (Daysim/Evalglare)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Thermal loads calculations (EnergyPlus and Radiance/Daysim)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The physical assumptions underlying these simulation programs and performance metrics will be discussed in detail. The first two days will consist of formal instructions, in-class discussions, hands-on software tutorials, and exercises. Day two will start with a lecture on circadian effects of light by Professor Stephen Lockley form the Harvard Medical School. Participants will be given the opportunity to calibrate their personal digital cameras to take HDR images and learn several ways of how to quantitatively evaluate these images. During the last day, participants will be given the opportunity to apply the newly acquired analysis techniques to ongoing projects of their own and to go over specific problems or simulation challenges with the instructor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You can sign up for the program at <a href="http://execed.gsd.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/exec_ed/details.cgi?offering_id=102042">http://execed.gsd.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/exec_ed/details.cgi?offering_id=102042</a>.
