An analysis of daylighting factor through an application of double skin façade (DSF) in relation to performance and physical activities of sports sciences

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between daylighting factor towards the physical activities of sport sciences by using Double Skin Façade (DSF) .From the beginning, Sport science education and planning have been embedded in the initial concepts design for the building proposed at Educity Iskandar Puteri from the very beginning. The location of EduCity Iskandar has been a major focus among big sport events, centered around Asia's first multi-campus education community.. The integrity of clients to ensure a high performance for sports developments among athletes, coaches or sportsmen are their priority. The proposal with the new sport institution was designed to fulfill the clients requirement which emphasize on quality sport environment. As to enhance the physical activities and performance among the user, a specific designed of double skin façade (DSF) have been developed and integrated with bioclimatic architecture to create a conducive and flexible environment to do sport science activities. Bioclimatic architecture is a way of designing buildings based on the local climate, with the aim of ensuring sufficient daylighting using environmental resources.
