Abstract
DIN 18599-4 is successfully used as a tool for optimising daylight quality in office spaces with respect to dimensions and window size and positioning. Further room optimisation with respect to thermal comfort during summer based on DIN 4108-2 can lead to uncomfortable conditions, as shown in comparative simulations. Comfortable conditions can be achieved with further optimisation measures based on simulation programs and thermal comfort evaluation based on DIN EN 15251. Recommendations for relevant room parameters including shading, natural ventilation and artificial light switching are provided.
