Résumé
Daylight quality and quantity in Algerian schools display a serious condition in ensuring the visual comfort of students and teachers. Some problems arise due to poor window design and excessive amounts of daylight penetration into the classrooms as well as non-uniform daylight distribution, which may cause glare and heat gain. This study aimed at choosing an ideal window size and glazing pattern to maximise daylight effectiveness and occupant comfort in Algerian schools. Field measurements of selected classrooms were carried out in selected schools in Algeria during the summer and winter seasons. The data were analysed and used to develop a model design for simulation. Seven patterns of glazing window design was used for an extensive simulation exercise. The results of the investigation from the site measurements show that WWR was more than 40% ; the WPI was found to be within the range of 300lux to 500lux and the DF of 4%, which exceeded reference value, except the southeast orientation which recorded 2.98%.
