Simple Visualization of Sun,facade, Window and Shade
The raison d'etre of using Excel for designing/ decision
making is that the solution is not a black box and professionals besides
relating to basic principles can play with it through and create scenarios. Transparency
of formulas and correlations when supported with basic visualizations however
can authenticate decision making.
Seeing is believing. Optimal solar passive design requires varying
requirements.
The transparent quantification when supported through visual
confirmation of snapshots would expedite and transform decision making. Project
management agility requires that all stakeholders specially the client are
engaged in the design. Here your decisions can be validated even by a laymen.
Newer versions of Excel are focusing on visualization as well.
Problem Definition:-
Decision on solar passive optimization (considering 8760
hours) have been taken through trade-offs for creating shading during summer
months and allowing the sun during winter months. Day light optimization have
been done with optimal window size and a shading that cuts direct sunlight for cutting
glare in the minimum first cost. The client and the multidisciplinary project
team needs to be presented and convinced through a visualization that they can
validate.
Please visit my earlier blog for background. The solution has been further simplified by
following the formulas and conventions in the book “Introduction
to Architectural Science: The Basis of Sustainable Design” by S. V. Szokolay.
Please download the workbook here, experiment and
comment. You need to know some basic building science. Use Excel 2016 to make the best of the
application.
