Utilization of daylight in the BAYER Headquarters in Lyngby. Monitoring and documentation
The aim of this project was to document energy savings and user acceptance for different control strategies for artificial lighting in the Bayer Headquarter, DK, where artificial lighting is automatically changed in accordance to the daylight level and the use of the offices.
This project is a part of the International Energy Agency S Hand C Task 21: 'Daylight in Buildings' - Subtask D: 'Case Studies'. The main objective is to demonstrate the viability of daylighting in buildings in various world climate zones as an energy saving potential while maintaining a satisfactory visual and thermal environment for occupants. The aim of this EFP (Energy Research Programme) project is to document energy savings and user acceptance for different control strategies for artifical lighting and solar shading in the Bayer Headquarter, DK. Lighting and solar shading will be changed in accordance to the daylight level and the use of the offices. The monitoring will be carried out according to the monitoring protocol developed in Task 21. An important aspect of integration of innovative systems in building design is the user evaluation of the indoor environment. In Task 21 procedures have been developed for assessment of user satisfaction of daylighting and lighting control systems in the normal working environment. These will be used in the monitoring of Bayer Headquarter. The results will be integrated in a Design Guide providing recommendations on system integration and data on energy saving potentials and in a Case Study book representing exemplary daylighted buildings in various climatic zones
