Course Details
• Fundamentals of Daylighting Design: An introduction to the basic principles of daylighting design, including the physics of light and how it interacts with buildings. This unit will cover topics such as the daylight factor, direct and indirect sunlight, and shading devices.
• Daylighting Analysis Tools: This unit will cover various software tools and techniques used for daylighting analysis, including radiation mapping, radiance calculations, and computer simulations. Students will learn how to use these tools to evaluate and optimize daylighting designs.
• Passive Daylighting Strategies: An exploration of passive daylighting strategies such as clerestory windows, light shelves, and skylights. Students will learn how to incorporate these strategies into building design to maximize daylighting potential while minimizing energy use.
• Active Daylighting Systems: An examination of active daylighting systems such as automated shading devices and daylight-responsive lighting controls. Students will learn how these systems can be used to optimize daylighting performance in response to changing daylight conditions.
• Daylighting in Sustainable Design: This unit will explore the role of daylighting in sustainable building design, including its impact on energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and productivity. Students will learn how to integrate daylighting into a comprehensive sustainable design strategy.
• Codes and Standards for Daylighting Design: An overview of relevant codes and standards for daylighting design, including the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Students will learn how to comply with these codes and standards while still achieving optimal daylighting performance.
• Case Studies in Daylighting Design: An in-depth analysis of real-world daylighting design projects, showcasing successful strategies and innovative techniques. Students will learn from these examples and apply the lessons learned to their own daylighting design projects.
