A safe and healthy working environment is a primary need in<br />
any industrial undertaking. It is a matter of common interest to<br />
employers, employees, governments and safety organisations<br />
alike.<br />
The continuous improvement of environmental factors such as<br />
safety measures, aural, visual and thermal comfort and<br />
workplace design should be a major aim of every thinking<br />
employer or manager and indeed of the workforce and their<br />
employee organisations as well.Ralph Willis(1979) Former Treasurer<br />

There is more to designing windows than merely drawing a<br />
rectangle on an elevation.<br />
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) requires habitable rooms<br />
to have a window area of a minimum of 10% of the total<br />
room area, but what about commercial spaces.<br />
Calculating window areas for specific light levels is a complex<br />
task.<br />
Take a deep breath... because later in this topic, you will be<br />
doing precisely that.
