Criterion 11: Achieving indoor comfort requirements (visual/ thermal/ acoustic)

• Is “Overcast Sky” considered as design sky condition while simulating for indoor Illuminance (lux) in criterion 13 (GRIHA Version 3)?
• What time, date and month should be considered while simulating for indoor illuminance in criterion 13 (GRIHA Version 3)?
• If daylight penetration is more than 2H (depth of day lighted zone) and room depth is more than the day lighted zone’s depth, can we consider increased depth of the day lighted zone (more than 2H) ?
• Is energy calculation done in Visual DOE /eQuest software enough to demonstrate thermal comfort compliance?
• How can we prove compliance for natural ventilated spaces in criterion 14 (GRIHA Version 3)?
• What all spaces need to comply (Regular & Non-regular) for thermal comfort in criterion 14 (GRIHA Version 3)? Do service areas also need to comply?
• What all simulation software tools can be used for showing thermal comfort compliance in criterion 14 (GRIHA Version 3)?
• Will these areas come under daylight areas for calculations in criterion 13 (GRIHA Version 3)? 1. Canteen 2. Restaurant 3. Shops 4. Pantry 5. Dining room
• Is it mandatory to meet SHGC compliance for display windows in a mall? How can compliance with day lit zone and day light factor be demonstrated in a mall?
• What documents are needed to show compliance with thermal comfort in criterion 14 (GRIHA Version 03)?
