Testing 3-D model level of detail conventions for reliable outputs from daylight simulation models.
Model level of detail conventions have been developed by building design and construction industry for consistent interpretation of design information contained in design documents. For example, the level of design development (LOD) convention developed by AIA, has incremental levels where each LOD has a defined set of design details that may be present in it. Such conventions are useful for building simulation models as well as they are defined using several details at varying degree of specificity and reliability. This project shall explore the creation of a model input framework inspired by existing 3D model/BIM LOD conventions.
