The book explores advanced building-facade daylighting design practices based on diverse energy
and human-factor performance metrics. It also defines effective daylighting by rethinking the
simplified approach to glazing and facade systems to incorporate the local climate and the
needs of building occupants as critical drivers of building performance design solutions and
technological innovation. It discusses state-of-the-art approaches in the context of
simulation-based design workflows innovative technologies and real project case studies all
targeting low and net-zero energy solutions that enhance occupant comfort. Readers benefit from
a comprehensive approach that improves the feedback loop between design intent and performance
in use. The book is intended for architects lighting designers facade engineers
manufacturers and building owners operators as well as advanced students.
