Abstract

In this paper we describe a software environment that supports integrated consideration of multiple aspects of lighting, daylighting and energy performance, through transparent use of multiple simulation tools and databases. We describe the use of the environment for lighting and energy analyses, and for the modeling of lighting controls and their energy implications. Finally, we present a case study that demonstrates the potential of the tool for addressing the energy and visual comfort implications of window design and lighting controls.
