Assessing the Impact of Toplight Optimization on Daylighting Performance in a University Sport Complex

WOKPE Emmanuel Gift & OHOCHUKU Chinwennwo Philips

Abstract

Daylight is well-known for its role, reducing artificial lighting consumption and enhancing the wellbeing and performance of building occupants. Daylight availability in buildings faces numerous challenges in a world where energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability take center stage. However, a crucial issue arises with the incorporation of large windows to introduce natural light, as this may compromise the thermal efficiency of a room. The utilization of daylighting as an effort to reduce the usage of building energy needs to be optimized. This is because, sport complex with large volumes require specific strategies for proper light distribution throughout the space. This study aims to explore and compare the effectiveness of daylighting in the openings design of skylights, roof monitor, and saw-tooth in a university sport complex. This research study undertook a rigorous mixedmethods analysis to examine the impacts of strategic skylight modifications on interior daylight sufficiency, energy performance, and broader user experiences within university sport complex. Designers must strike a delicate balance between optimizing daylight and ensuring thermal comfort to achieve energy- efficient buildings.
