  • Using heliodon for solar building design education in the age of computer simulations [Elektronski vir]
    Pajek, Luka, gradbeništvo ...
    Nowadays, engineering students tend to focus on computer simulations for the study of real-world phenomena, although in many cases they do not understand the basic principles behind the specific ... software. Therefore, in the time of computers, using a heliodon (physical device for solar analysis) for educational purposes might be an encouragement. The presented paper discusses the differences between analogue (heliodon) and digital (computer simulation) methods for determining insolation through educational work with students at bachelor level. Through the comparison of insolation results obtained by computer software and those obtained by heliodon, the potential accuracy error of the heliodon was evaluated. The results showed that the highest achieved accuracy of the analysed heliodon was at scale 1:400 (average error 7% on the equinox and 20% on the winter solstice). Furthermore, a questionnaire was handed to the students during the Bioclimatic design course at the University of Ljubljana. The students evaluated the user-friendliness of heliodon as sufficient (mean SUS score was 83.3).
