Room by room last analysis2:
Utilise the summary data to assess improvements to rooms with % area
results between 50 to 75%; these rooms could be candidates for
adjustment

2. Things to consider:
Increasing the amount of
glazing should be assessed
as trade off with energy
consumption (heat loss and
solar gain
Evaluate the size and shape
of glazing; glass below desk
height has very little value;
glass at high level close to
light coloured soffits can
improve light penetration and
surface contrast
Glass selection, especially
solar glass, can significantly
affect visible light
transmittance (Tvis); modern
solar glass now offers better
light transmission with good
solar performance

Notes:
This analysis provides an assessment of the LEED-India day lighting
credits. The provision of daylight has been calculated in accordance with
the guidance provided in LEED guidance - simulation option.

metric; large contrasts in

This analysis does not include an analysis of atria spaces (if selected
they will not be treated or tested separately); it is recommended the user
carry out a radiance analysis for such spaces.
It should be noted that the performance of devices such as light shelves
are best analysed using sunny skies; it is recommended that the user
carry out a detailed radiance analysis

especially consider sufficient
day light on ceilings and walls
Evaluate other day lighting
metrics such as glare; over
day lighting spaces can cause
glare and lead to blinds down
and lights on; the opposite
result
Consider day lighting with
other holistic comfort
requirements such as
occupant views and natural
ventilation. Blinds clashing
with these issues can lead to
a dysfunctional design.
Consider a zoned window
design with features such as
clerestories, light shelves etc
Internal surface reflactances
are 80% for ceilings, 50% for
walls and 20% for floors
