Good daylighting design is critical to the performance of commercial buildings. Daylighting is particularly challenging due to the daily and seasonal variability. However, incorporating daylighting provides some enticing benefits, such as improved health and wellbeing, building aesthetics, energy savings, and building value. Choosing the right dynamic shading system is the key to achieving maximum daylight potential. This presentation will describe the important decisions when choosing a shading solution including control method, technology, and material properties. With this knowledge, you will be able to take full advantage of the available daylight to enhance building performance.
