Abstract The pursuit of knowledge is what characterizes today’s civilization. Distance learning is not a new norm, but it has evolved in the past few years after the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) through technology, which led to the emergence of hybrid learning and many different forms of learning. Therefore, this study dealt with the adaptation of hybrid learning environments to adapt to the daylighting performance of this unconventional requirement. This study aims to create an appropriate learning environment with sufficient daylight to accommodate hybrid classroom requirements. It focuses on the window-to-wall ratio and classroom orientation parameters in addition to shading louvers treatments in the classroom by using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper for parametric modeling and the Honeybee Plus plugin, which uses radiance for annual daylight simulations. Results are analyzed by minimizing Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) and maximizing both Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) and Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI). By comparing the results between the base case and the simulation cases, the study showed that horizontal louvers were more efficient in southern facades, as they showed an increase in values up to 27% in hybrid learning daylit values and 16% more in total useful daylit values, which reflect that the selected methodology is three times more effective than the base case. |
