The Impact

Office buildings are building typologies where efficient and optimal use of lighting energy is crucial while providing comfortable visual environments. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of diverse architectural design alternatives on lighting energy requirements and lighting energy saving possibilities through a case study. In this study, a total of 3888 design alternatives are investigated in a comparative way in terms of daylighting system design alternatives, artificial lighting system design scenarios, artificial lighting system control types and shading system control options. Introducing the adaptation process of the EN 15193-1:2017 standard for Turkey’s specific climatic and geographical conditions and considering diverse lighting design scenarios, results of this parametric study aim to underline the significance of architectural design strategies in office buildings for the reduction of lighting energy requirements.

The Impact

Space layout design is one of the most important phases in architectural design, and current studies have shown that it can affect building energy performance. However, its influence has not been quantified. This paper aims at investigating the impact of space layouts on building energy performance. We use the floor plan of an office building in the Netherlands as reference, and propose eleven space layouts based on the reference. Calculations are performed with the tools Honeybee and Ladybug in Grasshopper, which are developed based on Daysim and EnergyPlus, to simulate lighting, cooling and heating demand of these layouts. In addition, we couple daylight with thermal simulation, by importing the artificial lighting schedule calculated in Daysim to EnergyPlus. The result shows that the heating demand of the worst layout is 12% higher than the best layout, the cooling demand of the worst layout is 10% higher than the best layout, and the lighting demand of the worst layout is 65% higher than the best layout. The total final energy use of the worst layout is 19% higher than the best layout.

Abstract - Illumination forms an important factor in a building. Lighting, and especially its natural form, is an important element to be considered in an office building. Proper natural lighting in an office can create a way to economize on energy. Besides, it may create a conducive atmosphere, affecting the work spirit and inspire the zest of the employees, so a lighting system must be designed to reach the highest possible degree of effectiveness. The effectiveness of natural lighting can be regarded from the quantitative and qualitative angle. Attaining the purpose of naturadaylight is influenced by various factors, including the daylight apertures that let daylight or sunlight seep in, along with surfaces or panels that reflect light so that it bounces back. Therefore, we must find out how these daylight apertures and reflective surfaces influence the effectiveness of lighting in office buildings. The Rumah Kindah office in Jakarta happens to be one of the office buildings that make use of natural lighting with daylight apertures that are unique, along with several kinds of reflective surfaces. This type of research can be classified as descriptive-evaluative, making use of the quantitative-qualitative approach. The Rumah Kindah office as the object of rsearch consists of three work spaces displaying the characteristics of daylight apertures that are uniform but not exactly the same, and the same applies to the reflective surfaces, so the research was conducted in these three office rooms. The relevant set of data was collected by way of observation, taking measurements and through the medium of interviews held at the object of research as well as using software to support simulation for the sake of acquiring the data required. These data can be analyzed by employing the theories that are available. The analysis results indicate that the daylight apertures oriented to the East-West but differing in terms of type, position, dimension and material produce a quantity and quality that varies from space to space. Besides, the reflective surfaces inside and outside the rooms play an important role in attaining the desired effectiveness of natural lighting in each of the work spaces at the Rumah Kindah office in Jakarta.

The Impact

The article analyzes the scientific works of scientists in the field of engineering and architectural design that have influenced on intelligent office buildings formation. The main criteria for assessing the intelligent buildings in Asia, Europe and America are considered. There are differences in approaches in different parts of the world. Particularly in Asia, the system takes into account the impact on the environment, employee health, comfortable working conditions, the introduction of modern technologies, safety, return on investment, etc. The assessment system named Intelligent Building Index (IBI) consists of 10 Quality Environment Modules (QEM), which have different weights depends on intelligent building type. The second level of the IBI method included a list of 378 criteria, each of which was evaluated by a system of 1 to 100 points. In Europe, it focuses on the interaction of intelligent buildings with humans and the environment, also on minimizing energy consumption and operating costs. In most European countries, intelligent buildings are assessed by Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, BREEAM. In the United States, priority approaches are related to the principles of sustainability and adaptability to rapid changes in technology and human needs. One of the most common criteria for assessing buildings in the United States is the system Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, LEED. The basic architectural methods are singled out: using the wind generators and photovoltaic elements on facades; the arrangement of facades with double glazing; application of automatic blinds between two layers of glazing, etc. It is proved that the intelligent building is not a usual building that just uses an automation building management system (BMS), but first of all, is an "intelligent architecture" with providing sustainable principles and requiring an integrated approach from the first designing stage.

With regard to overheating and heat lost potential, transparent parts of the building envelope have a significant impact on building energy consumption. The project investigates the impact of fully glazed façades on energy intensity and daylight quality of office buildings in Toronto. Also it explores the potential of various external shading strategies in minimizing energy consumption and enhancing daylight quality. Different types of external shadings including overhangs, vertical fins and diagrid screen were investigated in terms of heating, cooling and lighting energy use and daylight performance. The diagrid screen, in comparison to conventional shading strategies, demonstrates significantly better impact on cooling load reduction and improving daylight quality in interior spaces. This study helped to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each shading system and provides guidelines for architects in the process of designing façades of glazed office buildings to widen the options for aesthetically pleasing, high performance façades.

Electrical Installation

In office buildings, electrical energy is needed to meet the needs of lighting to electronic equipment used in the building. To support all of that, a reliable electrical installation system is needed so that all office activities can run well without causing significant problems. Therefore the planning of the electrical installation system in a building must refer to the applicable rules and regulations in accordance with PUIL and SNI. The design carried out refers to PUIL 2011, SNI 03-6575-2001 (Lighting System Design Procedures). The entire electrical installation system gets a 3 Phase supply from PLN. The total power in this building is 80000 watts, so the power needed from PLN to connect is 160 KVA. Conductors used in this installation, use cables with NYM and NYY types with varying sizes in accordance with the calculation of the conveying CRC that has been done.
