Lighting, Daylighting and Integrated Design Lab (IDL)

The intent of the Lighting, Daylighting and Integrated Design Lab (IDL)  is to : 1) evaluate electric lighting and daylighting solutions for building energy efficiency; and, 2)Introduce Whole Building Design (WBD) project to students wherein they integrate their learning from Passive Comfort and HVAC Lab in making an existing building energy efficient one by evaluating and simulating it. The approach starts from climate analysis to optimizing windows by daylight and natural ventilation analysis. This is  followed by architectural, lighting and HVAC Energy Conservation Measures to Life Cycle Cost Analysis and lastly comparing the  Standard Case, ECBC Compliant and Proposed Case.
