AbstractDaylight analysis and optimization are pre-requisites for energy-efficient and sustainable infrastructure. Conventional practices of designing and providing artificial lighting often ignore the consideration of the availability of natural daylight for the infrastructure. This paper aims to analyze the availability and potential of natural daylight reviewing the sky component type at a designated location, real-time sensor-based illuminance measurement on-site and BIM-based daylight simulation. Consequently, a sensor prototype was deployed to the metro rail station for automated optimization. Firstly, the sky component type of Ahmedabad was determined based on the literature review. Subsequently, sensors were integrated at the strategic grid point location covering the entire metro rail station to collect real-time Illuminance for daylight factor calculation. Furthermore, BIM-based sun path and shadow analysis and daylight simulation were carried out to suggest the possibility and potential of daylight savings. Finally, based on all the analysis and results, a newly designed sensor-based prototype was developed and equipped to enhance automated optimization for daylight savings, which resulted in 29% energy savings monthly. This approach significantly helps the project stakeholders to enhance building energy performance and lead a step closer towards sustainable infrastructure. |
