“…Next, the w and lux values were fed into the pre-trained model to produce the estimated value of the VC in these particular conditions and time frames. The estimated VC values (i.e., regression model) were then compared with the actual VC values (i.e., mathematical model) calculated by solving Equation (1) with the same values of w and lux. The results are presented in Table 7.…”

The accurate assessment of visual comfort in indoor spaces is crucial for creating environments that enhance occupant well-being, productivity, and overall satisfaction. This paper presents a groundbreaking contribution to the field of visual comfort assessment in occupied buildings, addressing the existing research gap in methods for evaluating visual comfort once a building is in use while ensuring compliance with design specifications. The primary aim of this study was to introduce a pioneering approach for estimating visual comfort in indoor environments that is non-intrusive, practical, and can deliver accurate results without compromising accuracy. By incorporating mathematical visual comfort estimation into a regression model, the proposed method was evaluated and compared using real-life scenario. The experimental results demonstrated that the suggested model surpassed the mathematical model with an impressive performance improvement of 99%, requiring fewer computational resources and exhibiting a remarkable 95% faster processing time.

Multi-Skin Adaptive Ventilated Facade: A Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Multi-skin ventilated facades with integrated building elements that respond to climatic conditions (mechanized openings and automatic shading with intelligent control) present the potential of improving overall annual energy savings by adapting the thermal properties of buildings. This paper presents a literature review on multi-skin adaptive ventilated facades. Additionally, this article presents a literature review on building envelopes that contain inner-air layers. The operation modes of the air layer used in building enclosure structures are classified and summarized and the thermal performance and benefits of climate-adaptive facades are discussed and reviewed. The existing operation modes of the air layer used in building envelopes are summarized, outlined and roughly classified into the following types: the enclosed type, the naturally ventilated type and the mechanically ventilated type. One of the sustainable development trends is the investigation and application of energy-efficient climate-adaptive facades. In this study, the energy modeling of a high-rise office building was calculated using the Green Building Studio. The annual energy, the annual CO2 emissions, and life cycle energy for the following three types of facade were estimated: a single-layer facade made of three-layer glass with argon, a double ventilated facade, and a triple ventilated facade with a double chamber. The calculation results show that the annual energy of the building with an adaptive triple-skin facade could be reduced by 15% compared with buildings with a single skin facade.
