But for the design of space lighting, attention should be paid to not creating too much or too little light and glare in the space. One of the modern solutions to provide these conditions is the use of dynamic and smart skins that react based on the amount of light. In this research the impact of the presence of dynamic smart shade and its absence on the amount of sufficient light supply and the possibility of glare in a classroom will be examined. The purpose of this research is to prove the better performance of the designed dynamic and smart facade, in providing proper light and no glare in the climate. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the design with the help of Iranian-Islamic architectural patterns in smart shade systems, especially on the southern side of the buildings, leads to the creation of visual comfort in the environment. Also, according to the results obtained from the comparison of the two facade systems, in all the analyses, the intelligent facade, unlike the case without the shade, has been able to provide enough light for more than 50% of the class area at all times, without causing glare.}, keywords = {visual comfort,Dynamic Skins,Computational Analysis,GLARE,Daylight}, url = {https://www.ijumes.com/article_701373.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijumes.com/article_701373_432dcfb002f0b966393c5919bd052ab5.pdf} }
