Children’s decoration on the glass 

The ceiling in the children’s bedroom has been designed with two fi xed internal windows letting the light from the south facing roof windows into the room. Thus giving it balanced daylight from two sides.
Especially in the wintertime, direct sunlight can be a much needed boost to creativity and energy. The two fi xed internal windows can be decorated with colours and patterns and thereby give an extra dimension to the children’s play.

The light entresol staircase leads to a more intimate family space for rest, work or children’s play.

      Ground floor
Daylight Factor (DF) Analysis
The daylight factor simulation for the Lumina house predicts good daylight availability on the 3 floors, as well as an interesting variation in the levels between the floors.
Sun tunnels are not included in the daylight factor simulation According to British standard (CIBSE 1997), an average DF of % or more will ensure that an interior looks substantially daylit. An average daylight factor below % generally makes a room look dull; electric lighting is likely to be in frequent use.

High levels of daylight combined with the use of proper shading elements for the windows will procure the occupants freedom over the light condition and promote optimal indoor comfort.

Natural ventilation with stack effect

Energy balance
The energy quality of a house is a step towards sustainability in living. With introduction of VELUX solar panels, natural ventilation through VELUX roof windows, floor heating and good insulation, LUMINA house is a holistic solution in contemporary energy-balanced architecture. Lumina House meets the requirements of low energy class 1, which is 50% of a normal house.

 Total energy demand kWh/m² per year
 Low energy class 1 140,1
 Low energy class 2  57,4
 Minimum requirement  80,2
 Calculation for LUMINA 39,7
(The calculation has been made with the computer program Be06. It provides an overview of the energy performance of the house based on Danish regulations and climate.)

Solar heating
The sunlight contributes with passive solar energy through the south and east faced windows and you benefit directly from the resources of nature. Unpleasant overheating in the summer is avoided by using awning blinds in combination with airing. To go a step further in using the energy of the sun, solar panels contribute to the heating of the water for the household. The degrees saddle roof faces south east so the thermal solar panels are put to full use.

Ventilation
The combination of supplying air through façade windows and leading the exhaust air out the highly placed roof windows results in effective ventilation of the air in the living areas of the house. The window layout in LUMINA HOUSE is well suited for using natural ventilation in the summertime to cool the building because of the stack  effect between façade windows and roof windows.
