Parametric Study Method of Illuminance and Airflow in Building Architectural Design Phase

Original language description

Today, the production of sustainable buildings has become one of the main objectives of the construction industry. This direction aims to meet the increasing demand for construction while minimizing harmful impacts on the environment, thus contributing to sustainable development. The indoor environment of sustainable buildings, influenced by various parameters such as lighting, air quality, thermal comfort, and materials used is of paramount importance. This environment requires in-depth research to effectively meet the needs of occupants, thereby ensuring their comfort and well-being. The quantity of light and the natural ventilation flow are therefore essential elements to consider in the architectural design process of buildings. This study explores a computational approach using a workflow between Revit, Dynamo, et Python to assess illuminance levels and airflow efficiency in a small house. To achieve this, our research is divided into three phases: firstly, creation of 3D model in Revit; secondly, extraction of geometrical and environmental data and thirdly, computation of radiation-based illuminance calculations and estimation of natural airflow rates based on simplified Bernoulli equations using Dynamo and Python. The results of this research provide actionable insights into illuminance exposure and ventilation rates for each room, enabling data-driven decision-making for architects during the design process. This approach establishes a workflow that eliminates the need for external simulation software by leveraging BIM's built-in calculation tools. The results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in analyzing early design stages.
