DAYLIGHTING INTERNATIONAL · Even in a northern country like Norway, the effective use of solar energy can drastically reduce the amounts of heating, cooling and lighting energy required in buildings.
This claim is made by solar experts who present their research results from 45 building case studies in 12 countries in Passive Solar Commercial and Institutional Buildings, published under the auspices of the International Energy Agency.
This sourcebook of examples and design insights encourages the design of buildings that are adapted to and profit from the climate. The book is also claimed to give ample evidence of the importance of daylighting for commercial buildings that are occupied primarily during the day. In the part covering daylighting, examples of classical and new daylighting strategies are described; daylighting, air conditioning, and energy costs are discussed, and experiences in using daylighting design and calculation tools are evaluated.
