Daylighting

Daylighting is the practice of designing buildings to maximize natural light from the sun to illuminate indoor spaces. It reduces the need for artificial lighting, lowering energy consumption and creating healthier, more comfortable environments. Effective daylighting considers window placement, size, and skylights, along with shading devices to control light levels and minimize glare or heat gain. Proper daylighting enhances visual comfort, supports well-being, and can contribute to sustainability goals by decreasing reliance on electrical lighting. It is a key element in sustainable architecture and interior design aimed at creating energy-efficient and pleasant spaces.
