Özet:
Daylight affects occupants' visual performance in the indoor environment. The amount of daylight determines the quality of the interior. If daylighting is controlled properly, it provides comfortable and healthy spaces for the occupants. It is the primary light source of interior and it saves energy decreasing the use of artificial lighting in the interior. Because of these reasons, daylight performance has a significant role in environmental assessment tools. As BREEAM is the first environmental assessment tool in the world which is published in the UK, it has been the subject matter in this thesis. BREEAM has 'Daylight' section in 'Health and Wellbeing' category. The illuminance value determines whether to get the credits or not in this category. It has been known that there are architectural parameters such as window size and surface reflectance that affect the illuminance value of the interiors. Each color combination of floor, wall, and ceiling results in a significant average reflectance value. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to test the whole impact of these room and window design parameters on daylight performance according to BREEAM(universities, colleges, and higher education-occupied spaces) criteria with the cases of London and İzmir. The daylight performance simulation models of the reference rooms generated with four material alternatives were built in RELUX, under clear and overcast sky conditions. Simulations run for London and İzmir covering solstice and equinox days. Findings were discussed in the view of daylighting criteria of BREEAM. In general, daylight criteria of BREEAM which is based on conditions of London (UK) were found to be suitable and applicable for cases in İzmir.
