Reclaiming daylight through sustainable design
Learn about the implications that insufficient levels of daylight can have on our health and performance, how we can design better buildings to overcome these challenges and how we make use of building certifications schemes to create sustainable architecture that promotes health and well-being.
Historically, daylight has helped achieve low operational energy goals by reducing reliance on energy-intensive artificial lighting. However, with the rise of efficient LED lighting, the relative energy impact of large windows on cooling and heating can tip the balance the other way . When designing buildings that are to be used and enjoyed by people, we should aim beyond the mathematical ...
