Impact of window amount and size on user perception, daylighting and energy demand in an office space

The thesis studies the impact of window amount and size on user perception with an user assessment and on daylighting and energy demand using Radiance based Three-Phase Method and EnergyPlus coupled. The analysis investigates the behavior of Complex Fenestration Systems. First the accuracy of the simulation tools are verified then different window settings are compared with different venetian blind positions. The work of thesis has been conducted at Fraunhofer ISE (Freiburg, Germany)
