The diffuse light-transmitting and composite technology of translucent structural sandwich panels has increasingly caught the imagination of architects and designers because it is possible to maximize wall or roof daylighting while minimizing energy loss, with consequent savings in the running costs of heating, air conditioning, and artificial lighting. This course explores the fundamental connection between light and health by examining how translucent structural sandwich panels deliver glare-free, diffuse daylight deeper and more evenly into spaces with maximum thermal efficiency.

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

  • Discuss the impact translucent fenestration systems can have on the daylighting, energy efficiency, aesthetics, safety, and privacy of a building.
  • Explain why daylight modeling is an effective tool in helping to determine the amount and type of daylight that is available to a project and how deeply that daylight will travel into a building.
  • Discuss how diffused lighting can positively impact the health and overall well-being of building occupants in a variety of commercial settings.
  • Examine how translucent structural sandwich panels are made and why, by their makeup, they can improve daylighting within an interior and the thermal performance of the envelope.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
