Abstract:
Although the use of daylight has an important role in educational spaces, uncontrolled use of daylight can lead to some undesirable situations for occupants. It is generally accepted that recommended illuminance values change between 300 lux and 2000 lux in educational spaces. However, it is not possible to get these illuminance range at the same level during the day, as the classrooms have been used all day period. To create more satisfied daylit spaces, movable shading systems become a solution because of their ability of guiding the direct daylight in day period. To evaluate the daylight performance of movable shading systems, dynamic daylight performance metrics have been used. This thesis focuses on comparing different types of movable shading systems developed as a result of findings of dynamic daylight metrics in a classroom. A classroom in the Department of Architecture in Izmir Institute of Technology was chosen as the case room measured illuminance values. It has been found that the level of illuminance values are much higher than the generally accepted values. The classroom has been modelled virtually and analyzed on a special software programmer in order to examine the findings of the field measurement. Two different types of moveable shading systems have been suggested and used to evaluate the performance of illuminance. When the results are evaluated, it can be understood that movable shading systems have a significant role on creating satisfied spaces in educational areas. Especially, single oriented shading systems, which represented as model 1 in thesis, are more successful to control direct daylight.
