Daylight Performance Evaluation of Laser Cut Panels in Office Buildings- A Case of Indian Cities
Hema Mulchandani, Agam Shah, Rajan Rawal, Charlie Curcija
Abstract:

This paper presents study of application of Laser Cut Panel (LCP) with reference to availability of daylight in deep plan open offices. The study generates Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF) data of LCPs using Radiance-genBSDF program, which was compared with measured BSDF data using goniophotometer. A typical office floor plate was considered as a reference model to investigate daylight and energy performance for three variations of LCPs. Analysis was done for three cities in India located on different latitudes with 30%, 50% and 70% Window to Wall Ratio (WWR), with windows placed on North, South, East and West facades. Results generated are analysed for spatial distribution of daylight and savings in lighting energy consumption.
