Human-plant centric shading control: Considering the impact of shading systems on both occupants’ and plants’ requirements

Traditionally, control strategies are applied to automate switchable electrochromic glazing systems (EC) save energy and provide comfort for occupants indoors. In addition, the plants’ minimum requirements consequences of active shading on supplemental artificial lighting plants should be considered when designers want embrace Biophilic design. This paper introduces a simulation workflow evaluate impact activation both human plant year-round using combined climate-based daylight (Radiance) building tool (TRNSYS). Finally, simulated total electricity demand in prototypical office room temperate climate condition presented discussed under different strategies.
