Abstract
This paper introduces an interactive web-based visualizer for
multi-metric daylight simulation results, named OCUVIS. It
is able to display simulation-based results for a diverse range
of ocular human-centric metrics such as non-visual health
potential (nvRD), daylight-related visual interest (mSC5) and
visual comfort (DGP with Ev), as well as horizontal
illumination metrics such as spatial Daylight Autonomy
(sDA), Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) and Daylight
Factor (DF)). To provide a holistic representation of
performance across a multi-directional field-of-view,
OCUVIS creates an interactive visualization of results over
time and across space, linking temporal and 3D graphics.
This allows the user to explore the impacts of dynamic sky
conditions, view position, view direction and program use on
localized and building scale performance. OCUVIS bridges
the gap between human and building-scale daylight potential
to offer a more holistic and intuitive representation of
daylight performance in buildings.
