Resumo

This paper reviews the development of façade design and aims to analyze the impact of changes in the design of the building’s skin and the utilization of various daylight systems on the level and uniformity of daylight. This paper intends to summarize the traditional planning considerations that have been used in façade design and then analyzing a number of new glazing and daylight systems that have been developed in recent years for directing daylight into buildings. This paper aims to investigate the impacts of the outer skin design on energy consumption in office buildings. In the last 20 years there has been a large increase in energy demand in Abu Dhabi. The major proportion of installed electric load in public buildings in hot climate zones is used for electric lighting despite that the amount of daylight in hot climate zones are considerable. It is typical that one can find the employee in a public building using artificial lighting during the day. We usually abuse daylight with careless solutions and by substituting it by too much unnecessary artificial lighting.
