This paper explains how the optimized classrooms were selected and the results that were achieved by the optimizations carried out and finalized. The context of the research is the city of Concepción, in Chile. Virtual models of classrooms were evaluated using the Radiance software. We used a methodology that allowed us to determine the luminous conditions under different types of skies, seasons of the year and times of the day. The evaluation of the typologies was performed based on three defined criteria, in order to achieve the stated design objectives. We defined the optimal solutions for each orientation and, finally, we stated design recommendations for daylit classrooms to ensure the visual comfort of the students. These recommendations link all that found in the initial analysis with that found in the optimization stage.
Daylighting, classrooms design, glare, visual comfort.
