Daylight Performance of Building
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
As part of Daylight Europe the daylighting behavior of 60 buildings were observed and studied. Buildings of many different types were included - from offices to museums, libraries, churches, houses, airports, and factories. From classical buildings to modern structures and from a single room to an office of over 100,000 square meters.
The results of the study of each building are presented, extensively illustrated in color, with the unusual features and main lessons highlighted. The book also includes details of the monitoring procedures, the results and comparison with simulations, the outcome of post-occupancy evaluation and a summary of the major findings.
They demonstrate how often opportunities are missed, and the frequency of problems of overheating or glare. Above all, they demonstrate the beauty, elegance and scope of daylight design.
Any architect or lighting designer will find this attractive and beautifully presented volume essential reading.
