1 Annual environmental performance evaluation of light and heat in daylight harvesting systems using Radiance and NewHASP 2017 International Radiance Workshop August Portland, Oregon Chikako Ohki and Hiroshi Ohga Obayashi Corporation, Japan Nozomu Yoshizawa Tokyo University of Science, Japan 1

2 Background A thermal load simulation program, NewHASP/ACLD ( the society of Heating, Air conditioning and Sanitary engineers Program /Air Conditioning LoaD ), was developed by SHASE (the Society of Heating, Air Conditioning, and Sanitary Engineers, Japan) in 2004, and is now widely used in academic research and design practice in Japan. The program has original functions to estimate the effect of daylight harvesting, but its algorithm is simple and cannot take into consideration complex daylight control systems. We developed a new Meta-simulation platform to calculate energy savings from daylight harvesting by combining Radiance NewHASP/ACLD LCEM Radiance, NewHASP/ACLD, and LCEM ( Life Cycle Energy Management: an energy simulation program developed by Japan s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport ). 2
