Proposed Framework for Daylight-Focused Homes During Design Development
Özet
Solar decathlon is held biannually, and participant universities have a unique chance to locate solar houses on campus
as a living lab after the contest. A variety of performance criteria are evaluated during the contest and daylighting is one among
them. Complicated analysis tools, design solutions, and their effectiveness are major challenges during the design development
of new solar houses. This challenge definition leads to developing a daylighting guideline for new solar house design. To provide
a roadmap of validity of emerging daylighting metrics, demonstration of the daylighting performance of built-up solar houses,
and daylighting guideline for design parameters with recent technology on new solar house design are the specific objectives of
this study. The manuscript aims to examine the existing daylighting design tools while proposing a roadmap for how to use
emerging metrics over solar house design. Three solar decathlon entries of Missouri University of Science and Technology are
selected for post-occupancy evaluation to verify selected design tools. After analyze method, tools and final products are
introduced which can be used on case studies, impact on research and education is discussed in the paper. Experiential method
proposal for daylighting design have three phases and these are; the daylight metrics, the daylight performance and impact on
research and education. It would be beneficial in the future to have this as a design guide, especially for any residential buildings
rather than just solar houses.
