WE10 Taking Back the Sun: The Architect's Role in Daylighting Design HSW
05/14/2008, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM


Learning Units: 3.75-Intermediate level

Training Units: 0.9375-Training Area 3 (Schematic Design)

An interactive presentation demonstrating architectural daylighting principles and strategies and how these should influence the design process from the conceptual design phase forward. After a discussion of daylighting's historical role, basic solar dynamics, and tools and techniques, participants will work in small groups to construct models solving a given design problem. Daylight model-testing is used to predict and analyze the effects of building orientation, location, massing, and form.

Learning Objectives:
  • Recognize the elements of a genuine daylighting design
  • Use daylighting tools and techniques such as sun-path diagrams to determine building orientation, massing, and form
  • Evaluate how effective daylighting may save energy and money
Speakers: Marilyne Andersen, PhD; Robert J. Osten Jr., IALD, RA; and Keith J. Yancey, AIA, LC, IALD, PE

Provider: Lam Partners Inc.
