Abstract:

This paper presents an investigation into the luminous, thermal and visual performance of the Association of Professionals Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia's building envelope. The simplicity and elegance of the shading device draws attention to its performance. How does the architectural form interact with the environment, climate and, nature? What are the criteria for the use of daylight in the building? How do the occupants respond to the physical environment? These are some of the questions that will be explored
