Effective Use of Daylighting
The type, size and configuration of fenestration apertures have a strong impact on building lighting, heating and cooling loads. Daylight utilization has been shown to have good potential for reducing lighting energy requirements; however, the effect of daylighting schemes on building space heating and cooling energy requirements must also be considered. Since the luminous efficacy of solar radiation is typically two or three times that of electric light sources, the substitution of the proper levels of daylight for electric lighting can reduce lighting and cooling loads substantially, while providing the additional psychological and aesthetic benefits traditionally associated with fenestration in buildings. This paper describes some of the results obtained from measurements and computer simulations regarding the optimum utilization of daylight in buildings. The findings are summarized in the form of design guidelines for effective fenestration utilization.
