Quatrième de couverture

The hands–on daylighting resource to solve a variety of design issues

From evaluation to implementation, Daylighting Performance and Design is a veritable catalog of daylighting strategies, building materials, and methods of construction. This Second Edition offers up–to–date case studies, the latest glazing techniques, new discussions on productivity and human performance, and valuable knowledge on the impact of daylighting on interior spaces. With hands–on guidance, step–by–step instructions, and concise information, this resource stands alone in the field of architectural design.

Real–world execution of design concepts are illustrated by a wide range of case studies that include such structures as:

From saving energy and money to increasing productivity in schools and offices, all aspects of the latest advances in theory, calculations, and execution techniques are available here. Busy professionals can find explanations at a glance with more than 175 striking illustrations and many visual examples.
