Daylighting for Sustainability
Daylighting , the practice of using natural light to illuminate indoor spaces, is a sustainable design strategy gaining popularity in the construction and architecture industries. One key element in successful daylighting is fenestrations, including windows, skylights, and other openings designed to efficiently capture and distribute natural light.
The global shift towards renewable energy sources has led to the implementation of energy-saving policies and laws worldwide. In this context, daylighting has emerged as an environmentally ...
