Impact of Building Geometry, Window Types, and Materials on Daylighting Performance of Livestock Buildings
(2024) 15th International Congress on Agricultural Mechanization and Energy in Agriculture, ANKAgEng 2023 In Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering 458 LNCE. p.262-274- Abstract
The availability and quality of natural light in livestock buildings affect the welfare and productivity of animals and their caretakers, while affecting the energy performance of the buildings. This study investigated the impact of different building properties on daylight conditions of livestock buildings. The study was conducted via parametric daylight simulations in Climatestudio. Firstly, building geometries with different facade orientations, width-to-length ratios, and roof pitches were simulated. Secondly, different glazing types, sizes, and locations were considered for their respective daylight performance. Finally, the use of different materials for the facade, floor and roof of the buildings were simulated and comparatively... (More)
The availability and quality of natural light in livestock buildings affect the welfare and productivity of animals and their caretakers, while affecting the energy performance of the buildings. This study investigated the impact of different building properties on daylight conditions of livestock buildings. The study was conducted via parametric daylight simulations in Climatestudio. Firstly, building geometries with different facade orientations, width-to-length ratios, and roof pitches were simulated. Secondly, different glazing types, sizes, and locations were considered for their respective daylight performance. Finally, the use of different materials for the facade, floor and roof of the buildings were simulated and comparatively analysed. The study analysed the simulation results to assess daylight availability in relation to different building properties. The results provided insight that can help determine building geometry, window properties, and material selection during the design process. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of further research and development of design guidelines and standards that incorporate these factors to improve the daylighting performance of these buildings, while ensuring animal welfare and productivity.
