Parametric Analysis for Daylight Autonomy and Energy Consumption in Hot Climates

, 2013
Signifcant contradiction arises in buildings in the hot climate regions when relating window sizes and shadings to achieve both reduced energy consumption (requiring minimum opening ratios and more shading) and suficient daylighting (requiring maximum opening ratios and less shading).
