I wanted to compare sun light data for summer, winter and spring, for morning, afternoon and evening. So after setting the settings to those time intervals I exported the model to JPEG to give me an image for each interval. I then edited the data using Photoshop, by layer them for different season intervals meaning I combined morning, afternoon and evening. As I wanted to compare the two concepts to make a decision in which concept would gain the most sunlight overall.
This way I way I only have to focus on two images as opposed to six different images, so these are my findings:
However because of the overall form of the building there's certain parts of the building which receives more sunlight that others, however my plan in the south facing elevations where there most sunlight. I am planning to place the big workshop spaces because the spaces are very large and this is where i think natural sunlight is most essential.
At places where there isn't alot of sunlight i am planning on using this spaces for lecture theaters as they don't require a lot of sunlight and tend to remain dark due to the activities going on in there. However another thing which I realised is that some parts of the roof receive constant sunlight so these will be places where I will try and incorporate as many sky lights as possible to take advantage of the subnlight.
Thise has been a very activity as it actually allows us to start thinking about where certain rooms would be most appropriate and also helps gives us a general idea in how we can persure other systems, such as passive systems.
