Paper Title
A Study of The Daylight Analysis and Shading Device Proposal for Retrofitting A Classroom

Abstract
The classroom is most commonly considered space in educational facilities where daylight is often a primary consideration for user comfort.This research paper aimed to propose a visually comfortable environment forthe renovation of an educational building by considering daylight distribution in classrooms.The case study was carried out to evaluatethe effect of direct sunlight penetration through side and clerestory windowsof a selectedmulti-functionalclassroom in Uludag University Faculty of Architecture.Shading system was designed according to the Giovani bioclimatic chart and Olgyay’s graphical method of shading mask.Within the scope of this paper, daylighting scenario for 21st March equinox, 13:30 p.m. is presented. Combination of different parameters for shading device design such as material, slat angle and position were modeled and testedby using a simulation tool.Daylight distribution for the base case and retrofit scenario for proposed shading device are explained and compared by the help of figures and tables in the results.
