DESCRIPTION
Confused by the new LEED v4 daylight metrics? Looking for a new way of
analyzing daylight for your building design?
The first half explains the LEED v4 Daylight Credit (EQc7) and new metrics,
Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) and Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) required
for compliance. Strengths, limitations, assumptions and controversy over
ASE and sDA will be discussed including why annual metrics necessary, what
the metrics mean in terms of daylight design, what qualities of daylighting
the metrics miss, and how blinds affect the score and experience of
daylight. New metrics will be compared with established annual metrics such
as Daylight Autonomy and Useful Daylight Illuminance. The seminar will go
beyond reciting formulas to helping you define metrics in meaningful terms
you can visualize, understand and use in your every-day practice.
The second half will introduce LightStanza, an innovative cloud-based
daylighting simulation software powered by Radiance. It allows users to
change materials and orientations in a flexible Web Application. Topics
will include model upload, running simulations, generating visual scores
and reports, renderings, annual metrics and glare analysis, and LEED
documentation.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Daniel Glaser is the Founder and Principal of Light Foundry, LLC, a small
startup based in Boulder, CO producing LightStanza, an avant-garde
cloud-based tool for transforming how industry utilizes daylight
effectively in green-building design. Dr. Glaser synthesizes 20 years of
experience in information technology, environmental, and human-factors
research in this project. He is a member of the IESNA Daylight Metrics
committee and has spoken at various international daylighting and
sustainability conferences. He received his BS in Computer Science from
Columbia University, MEng Computer Science from Cornell, and MS Arch from
and Interdisciplinary PhD from Berkeley.
