Introductory technical guidance for electrical engineers, architectural engineers and other professional engineers interested in design of buildings to utilize natural lighting to the extent feasible to conserve electrical energy. Here is what is discussed: 1. BENEFITS OF DAYLIGHT, 2. PROJECT TYPES THAT BENEFIT FROM DAYLIGHT, 3. DAYLIGHTING ECONOMICS, 4. SYSTEM INTEGRATION, 5. MAXIMIZE DAYLIGHT POTENTIAL, 6. GLAZING ORIENTATION, 7. GLAZING CHARACTERISTICS, 8. QUANTITY OF GLAZING, 9. GLARE AND CONTRAST CONTROL, 10. ACTIVE DAYLIGHTING, 11. PHYSICAL MODELING, 12. COMPUTER SIMULATION, 13. GLOSSARY OF LIGHTING TERMS.
To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.

Uses a simple and practical approach to cover typical components and design of ordinary, uncomplicated systems for building lighting basics. Both natural lighting and electrical lighting are included and both the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage and IESNA methods are introduced for daylighting calculations. An expanded version of the point method is shown that covers all orientations instead of only orthogonal relationships. Along with terms and fixtures commonly used in the profession, each chapter includes numerous examples, ending with exercises and study questions that enable readers to better understand the material.
