50% OFF: Daylight Performance of Buildings: A Handbook for Architects and Engineers

edited by Marc Fontoynont

As part of the Daylight Europe project, the daylighting behaviour of 60 buildings was observed and measured during a three-year period. Buildings of many different types, sizes and ages were included - from offices to museums, libraries, churches, houses, airports and factories; from Classical buildings to modern constructions, and from a small single room to an office of over 100,000 square meters.

The results of each building are presented, extensively illustrated in colour, with the unusual features and main lessons highlighted. The book also includes details of the monitoring procedures, the results of and comparisons with simulations, the outcome of post-occupancy evaluation, and a summary of the major findings.
