DAYLIGHT DESIGN STRATEGIES

Daylight design strategies, focusing on transition and differentiation and the components of daylight.The strategy as a response to the needs and functions of the building. 

The location of windows greatly affects daylight distribution. Rooms within a deep plan that share similar functions can utilize for higher openings to more evenly distribute daylight. In contrast, a deeper plan will benefit from both an increase in area and height in openings.

1. Direct sun

2. Indirect sun due to reflection from other buildings

3. Direct cloudy sky and

4. Indirect cloudy sky, which is reflected on the ground
