Shade differentiation [daylight simulation]

A last simulation series is done with focus on colour differentiation and the effect. The building is simulated with full panels, to keep maximum structural strength within the system. Two iterations are done with white roof and black roof (good reflector or good absorber), to detect the differences in light levels. The white roof performs naturally better (see right ill. row for each type as the interpolation goes from 0-20% to define more clearly the differences), but absorbs equally worse in collecting energy from the sun. A new simulation of cumulative radiation is done to determine precisely where energy can be collected most efficiently. The two rows of ill. to the right show the optimum combination of black (absorbing) grey (absorbing and reflecting) and white (reflecting) panels in order to keep high interior daylight factors and actively take use of the solar energy through solar thin films placement. The final simulation shows furthermore daylight factors ranging between 3 and 70 from the darkest places to the location near the envelope. Panels can thereby be removed accordingly to wanted increase in daylight in some zones or to direct views.
