Conducting a rigorous evaluation of the daylight
performance of buildings is essential for human health
and energy efficiency. Today, there are two main
methods used for analysis: the daylight factor, which has
been used since the early 1900s, and the newer
approach known as climate-based modelling. Both
methods are employed in the EN 17037 Daylight in
Buildings’ standard. Utilizing different calculation
methods causes discrepancies in daylight provision
performance analyses of a room. However, there is no
definition or limitation for this subject in the standard. As
a result, researchers prefer different calculation
methods for the same location in daylighting analyses
without a clear justification. Additionally, there is a lack
of parametric methods that follow the guidelines of the
standard. This study aims to analyse the impact of
calculation methods on daylighting analyses according
to different regions and generate parametric methods in
compliance with the standard. In this respect,
comparison calculations are conducted for a theoretical
room situated in all 81 provinces of Turkey, where
variant climate types occur over a year. Furthermore,
parametric workflows are generated using
Rhinoceros/Grasshopper following the directives of the
standard. The findings indicate that the method choice
affects the illumination levels in all zones, ranging from
15 to 114 %.
