HELIOS-EX: Blind control simulator and method with a consideration of adjacent buildings

The objective of this paper is to propose the automated blind control strategy considering adjacent buildings’ geometry in order to minimize the occupants’ discomfort from glare and to maximize daylight inlet and solar heat gain, which can contribute to reducing energy consumption in a building. The proposed strategy was evaluated and verified through the computer simulations and analysis of results.
