Daylighting

Definition of Daylighting as it relates to Architecture, Green Building, Energy Efficiency

Ventilation Strategies: A systematic approach to promoting air flow within built environments, encompassing architectural design principles and green building practices that prioritize eco-friendly solutions. This strategy harnesses natural forces such as wind and thermal buoyancy to circulate fresh air, reduce energy consumption, and enhance indoor environmental quality. It incorporates features like operable windows, skylights, atriums, courtyards, and passive stack ventilation, optimizing spatial configuration and material selection for optimal air exchange rates and air quality. By minimizing reliance on mechanical systems, it contributes to sustainable design objectives while ensuring occupant comfort and health.
