“…In contrast, we identify and construct a new set of data on design metrics to provide reference and guidelines for both designers and developers for some external architectural design elements. This aligns with recent studies which begin to evaluate the economic impacts of qualitative factors in architectural design, such as daylight and form [17,25].…”

Does design contribute to real estate value? Practicing architects require evidence to justify both functional and aesthetic building needs within the financial ecosystem. Some buildings that become real estate assets are valued using models that consider some proxies for understanding value, but these features are abstract and may misidentify the sub-optimal differentiation that design brings. The lack of feedback between real estate valuation and building design often leads to poor design and economic outcomes. To address this miscommunication, we investigate the transaction price performance of four external architectural form features—diagonality, curvature, setbacks and podiums. Whilst controlling for drivers that are known to explain transaction price variation, we find that diagonality and podiums have a positive pricing differential of 12.4 and 9.7% more than rectilinear control buildings, respectively. Buildings with setbacks have a negative pricing differential of 10%. Furthermore, these results are also consistent for rental valuation. Results suggest that there is a significant economic impact of some architectural form interventions that differentiate commercial buildings and contribute to the role of form in design, planning and commercial real estate.

“…As daylight levels are higher in June, it seems that having more daylight has a positive impact on user satisfaction in general. The importance of daylight on user satisfaction was also shown by other researchers, e.g., [27][28][29][30]. For example, a study was conducted by Day, Futrell, Cox, and Ruiz [28] that measured physical data and surveys to assess occupants' subjective visual comfort.…”

The Implementation of Visual Comfort Evaluation in the Evidence-Based Design Process Using Lighting Simulation

Validation of the EBD-SIM (evidence-based design-simulation) framework, a conceptual framework developed to integrate the use of lighting simulation in the EBD process, suggested that EBD’s post-occupancy evaluation (POE) should be conducted more frequently. A follow-up field study was designed for subjective–objective results implementation in the EBD process using lighting simulation tools. In this real-time case study, the visual comfort of the occupants was evaluated. The visual comfort analysis data were collected via simulations and questionnaires for subjective visual comfort perceptions. The follow-up study, conducted in June, confirmed the results of the original study, conducted in October, but additionally found correlations with annual performance metrics. This study shows that, at least for the variables related to daylight, a POE needs to be conducted at different times of the year to obtain a more comprehensive insight into the users’ perception of the lit environment.

“…Distintos estudios [5], [6], [7] destacan el impacto significativo que el diseño de envolventes tiene en el ambiente interior; sin embargo, muchos edificios no incorporan medidas que propician un ambiente iluminado naturalmente [8], por lo que es necesario considerar sistemas artificiales para lograr una buena calidad de iluminación.…”

Los efectos de iluminación natural en espacios interiores tienen una notable influencia sobre el ambiente de la edificación, pero más aún, en el bienestar del usuario. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la iluminación natural y el cumplimiento del rango de iluminación de 300 lux que la NOM-025-STPS-2008 establece como óptimo, mismo que estándares internacionales consideran como mínimo. Se realizó un diagnóstico ambiental y energético a partir del simulador Design Builder, se analizó una oficina del sector privado situada en clima cálido seco extremoso, así mismo, se estudiaron cinco escenarios de cielo distintos: un día de cielo nublado y cuatro días representativos de cielo claro. El análisis para identificar la iluminación natural se determinó a partir del Factor Luz Día expresado en lux. Se establecieron deficiencias o excesos de calidad de iluminación a partir de los resultados del caso base, además, se simularon otros nueve escenarios con diferentes sistemas de acristalamiento con el fin de analizar los efector sobre ganancias de calor. Las propiedades del material que permiten un mejor comportamiento térmico y lumínico son aquellos con menor coeficiente por ganancias de calor solar y mayor coeficiente visible térmico. El mejor sistema de acristalamiento se encuentra con un doble ultra claro, al mantener la iluminación solo 5% por debajo que el caso base y disminuir el 18% las ganancias de calor por acristalamiento. La mejor condición termo-energética fue con un vidrio sencillo tinte azul turquesa ya que a pesar de disminuir en 25% la iluminación, permitió cumplir con la norma mexicana y disminuir en 55% las ganancias de calor. Se requiere continuar el estudio y modificar la relación ventana-suelo y ventana-muro, así como la forma y ubicación del vano para establecer si realmente el vidrio sencillo tintado es mejor que los sistemas de acristalamiento doble.
