| Abstract. This study used a genetic algorithms research methodology to examine various design parameters for attaining a balance between daylight availability and visual comfort in educational facilities utilizing a double skin facade (DSF) inspired from mashrabiya. This encompasses its perforation ratio, depth, gap width from the external wall and inclination angels. The research pertains to the protocols and performance indicators of the most recent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system. Simulations of point-in-time illumination (PIT) were conducted. Results have shown that the preferred perforation ratios are: - (70%) in summer and (50%) at winter. preferred inclination angels: - (From 75 :120 degrees at 9AM, From 15:135 degrees at 3PM, From 75 :120 degrees at 3PM) at summer, (135 degrees at 9AM, From 105 to 135 at 12 PM, 135 degrees at 3PM) at winter. | ||
