PASSIVE DESIGN CONCEPT

A cooling system using a building’s design and

construction to maintain a comfortable
temperature within the building.

Passive design is essentially low- energy design

achieved by the building’s particular
morphological organization rather than electro-
mechanical means.

DAY LIGHTING

Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or

other openings and reflective surfaces so that
during the day, natural light provide effective
internal lighting.
It is the controlled admission of natural light,
direct sunlight and diffused sunlight into a
building to reduce electric lighting and saving
energy. Energy saving can be achieved from the
reduced use of ARTIFICIAL (ELECTRIC LIGHTING)
or from passive solar heating.

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

DAYLIGHT FACTOR

Is a numerical ratio use to describe the relation

between indoor and outdoor daylight illuminance
(typically under overcast sky conditions).

DAYLIGHT ZONING

Is the process of grouping various spaces in

building with similar luminous requirements into
a daylight zone, thereby enabling design and
control cost savings.

• Color Rendition • Overheadd daylighting

• Color Temperature • Day lighting redirection

• Reduced Electrical Load

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA
ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING
Orientation is vital for a good day
lighting system or a good tropical
structure. Designers benefit on the
information to create a proper
space programming.

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

BUILDING FORM
Form defines the way how the
structure accommodate day
lighting.

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

GLAZING RATIO
Glazing Ratio= area of glazing/
area or external wall (25%-50%).
The more the glazing ratio, the
more day light but more the solar
heat gain.

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

WINDOW HEIGHT AND LOCATION
As a general rule, the higher the
window head height, he deeper into
the space the daylight can
penetrate.
Office Buildings: 1.2m opening, sill
height 1.00-1.20m above floor
Residences: 1.00-1.20m, sill height
0.90m-0.70m

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

OVERHEAD DAY LIGHTING
skylights are passive because they
have a clear or diffusing medium
(acrylic) that simply allows
daylight to penetrate an opening in
the roof. They are often comprised
of a double layer of material for
increased insulation.

AR. CHARLES ANGELO T. ANDRADA

DAYLIGHT REDIRECTION
Daylight redirection devices take
incoming direct beam sunlight and
redirect it, generally into a celling
of a space.
These devices serve two functions:
a. Glare
b. Daylight Penetration
