Abstract
This research analyzes SOHO (Small Office Home Office) which can adjust to the need of visual comfort for the users through natural daylighting and also can be adapted to standard requirements of 14 creative industry workspace in Jakartas. The method of the research is by simulating the SOHO unit with variation of shading opening angles in order to adapt to each unit. Analysis done to every shading opening angle to get the appropriate daylight intensity level which support the work activities in every unit for the whole day. In order for the shading to be able to adapt to the changing daylight condition, previously developed parametric camshaft mechanism was used. The study found that the visual comfort for SOHO with creative industries workers in Jakarta can be achieve by varying the shading opening angles between 15-75°.
Highlights
Most of Small office/Home office (SOHO) building are mezzanine type, with the office space on the lower floor and a private room on the upper floor
Study on adaptive shading was conducted by analyzing daylight level to find the appropriate shading opening angle and obtain effective visual comfort requirements for 14 creative industries according to the IES standard
The efficiency of this system could be recognized by comparing to the methods of the widely used system called the Distributed Motorized System (DMS)
Summary
Most of Small office/Home office (SOHO) building are mezzanine type, with the office space on the lower floor and a private room on the upper floor. Certain proffesions that are primarily engaged in the creative industries lives and works in SOHO building, such as architects, graphic designers, writers, photographers, musicians, etc, because generally their offices do not require too much space [1]. Effective use of daylighting plays important role for visual comfort in SOHO. Different daylight intensity needs for each creative industry varies depending on their type of working activity. The use of adaptive shading could provide sufficient daylighting intensity for different SOHO units. Changes in the movement of sun per day and per year resulting in daylight intensity value received at any part of the grid surface of the building to be always changing. By applying adaptive shading solutions that follows the changes in every part of the grid will be able to comply every visual comfort requirements
