Daylighting systems provide a sustainable and environmentally conscious solution for building illumination. Daylighting however, is not just about letting in as much light as possible. Instead, it is an intentional and controlled introduction of natural light into a space. This course provides an overview of the benefits and applications of successful daylighting systems with a focus on the characteristics of high-performance translucent technologies, including removable glazing/skin options and two-panel systems. Also included is a discussion on meeting today’s strict code requirements with daylighting technology.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Describe the key characteristics of both successful and unsuccessful daylighting strategies, and list the benefits associated with implementing successful daylighting systems.
• Describe key characteristics of high-performance daylighting systems, and how they differ from low-performance systems.
• Explain why a translucent double-panel system with removable exterior glazing is ideal for successful daylighting designs.
• Explain the various code requirements and their impact on the daylighting industry, including how they have influenced the evolution of daylighting systems.
