IBPSA-USA Denver chapter along with RMG ASHRAE subcommittee (Simclub) is
hosting meetings once a month on a variety of simulation topics. It has had
a successful run so far with many interesting presentations, tours and
happy hours since its inception. Please join us if you haven?t participated
yet.
*Topic:* *Precision in Daylight Modeling*
With the increasing demand for, and execution of green buildings through
standards such as LEED, Architecture 2030, Net Zero Energy Building, and
the WELL Building Standard, the need for proper integration of energy and
daylighting tools is of critical importance. Unfortunately, many current
energy and lighting tools in the marketplace are interoperable, and as a
result, over represent or misrepresent the effects of daylighting. Energy
tools not only limit the geometric expressiveness of a lighting tool
stripping out mullions, wall thicknesses, and other essential details from
daylight models, but also do not model occupant behavior or provide
detailed lighting calculations. As a result, HVAC and electrical systems
can be incorrectly sized and designed. For this presentation, Daniel Glaser
and Sydney Nelson will address how to use daylight modeling tools with a
focus on precision through annual metrics like Spatial Daylight Autonomy
and Annual Sunlight Exposure, as well as the importance of blinds
operation, daylight glare probability, and other details specific to
daylight. They will then lead an open discussion on interoperability among
contemporary tools. Streamlining and sharing of daylighting analysis into
energy tools is a missing link that has prevented energy modeling and
simulation from providing both a more holistic and realistic understanding
of energy use in building. By focusing on electric lighting and daylighting
separately, designers, engineers, and architects are able to achieve true
accuracy and all-encompassing analysis for vastly improved individual and
collaborative outcomes.

*Daniel Glaser:*
As the Founder and Principal, Dr. Daniel C. Glaser brings over 20 years of
experience in information technology, daylighting, and environmental
research to lead the R+D efforts at LightStanza. He has twice been invited
to write articles for the leading journal Building and Environment. He is a
frequent speaker at major industry conferences on daylighting metrics and
cloud based simulation tools, including LightFair International, Greenbuild
International, Rocky Mountain Green, the USGBC Green Schools Summit,
Seminars at the Pacific Energy Center, and the DOE/LBL Radiance Workshop.
Dr. Glaser is an active member of the Illuminating Engineering Society
(IES) Daylight Metrics Committee, and has published extensively in several
in top tier computer, building science and human centered technology venues
including the ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), ACM Computer
Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), IEEE Information Visualization
(InfoVis), and Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). He is a
recipient of Department of Energy and National Science Foundation Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards for the LightStanza technology.
*Sydney Nelson: *
Ms. Nelson plays an integral role in bridging the gap between design and
engineering by leading product iterations and implementing designs using
HTML, CSS, and AngularJS. She is also involved in the integration of
digital marketing materials. She received her B.A. in Interdisciplinary
Media Arts Practices, along with a Minor in Technology, Arts, & Media from
the University of Colorado at Boulder.
