"Daylighting has become popular as a passive lighting method today. However,
there is an insufficient amount of research pertaining to other methods and
configurations in daylighting design.
The study examined the potential of plant canopies as models for sun
shading devices that can be used as daylighting configurations. The study has
been limited on the study of plants used in agroforestry.
The research utilized a descriptive and quantitative research that
followed an input-process-output-outcome (IPOO) design process. The
process involved the measurement of plant structure (input), 3D modelling of
plant structures (process) and program simulation of light to 3D models
(output). The simulation results were then used to create sun shading
configurations based on the canopy structure of the plants (outcome) and were
then matched to the actual lux reduction of the physical plants through multiple
tests and simulation.
The research was able to produce daylighting configurations that
matches 85-95% of the actual lux reduction produced by the physical plants in
agroforestry systems."
