| Abstract | ||
| Adaptive façades respond to outdoor and indoor stimuli to provide a design solution that enhances the visual comfort of office space[1].The visual comfort is improved by solving useful daylight illuminance and glare simulation, which is performed in this paper using Rhino software, algorithmic modelling by Grasshopper and Diva with Galapagos interface to explore the applicability of parametric design to increase daylight performance and decrease glare[2]. The principal aim of this paper is to estimate the effect of sunscreen configuration on achieving a balance between enough illuminance level and glare uniformity inside a selected space. | ||
