Daylighting is more than just putting windows in buildings. It is positioning the building
correctly on an appropriate site, and using the building to collect, control, and distribute light.
A good daylit building takes the sunlight that falls on it, controls the glare, and distributes
usable light deeply into the building. It incorporates vision glass to preserve the connection to
nature, provide time of day cues, and a sense of visual delight.
 | Site and orient the building to take advantage of the solar position. |
| Use the building as a collector and distributor of sunlight. |
| Select the appropriate glazing. |
