IEA solar heating and cooling program. Task 21: Daylight in buildings
The objective of this Task is to develop a scientific, engineering and architectural basis to support the effective and economical integration of daylighting concepts into the design of non-residential buildings. The Task seeks to promote daylight conscious building design saving energy through greater utilization of natural light while at the same time improving visual comfort and the control of solar gains. The Task focuses on those daylighting systems and strategies which can be applied in new and existing buildings with a high aggregate electricity saving potential such as offices, schools, commercial, and institutional buildings. Systems and strategies are tested and performance evaluated through studies in laboratory facilities, by computer simulations, as well as in Case Study buildings. The performance assessment seeks to cover visual, architectural and environmental aspects, including user acceptance of the systems. Daylighting systems: Systems to be considered in this Subtask are fenestration systems and integrated or attached building envelope elements that admit, enhance and control daylight penetration in the building interior. Such systems include both sidelights and roof lights, as well as movable and fixed systems. (EG)
