What is daylighting?<br />

• Daylighting is the<br />

controlled admission of<br />

natural light into a<br />

building with artificial light<br />

fixtures dimmed or<br />

turned-off to save energy<br />

• A well daylit space has<br />

relatively even brightness<br />

and reduced contrast<br />

ratios<br />

• More windows do not<br />

make better daylighting
