While daylighting strategies have been incorporated into commercial interiors, they have not been widely considered for residential work. And daylighting on the scale of a 550,000-square-foot, 145-unit project is particularly new. “The spatial quality of the interiors is set to harness daylight and shadow,” Gang explains. “The uneven quality of the light—baffled light—connects the building and its inhabitants to real time.”

“Lack of sunlight exposure causes serious vitamin D deficiencies, which in turn cause a range of health issues such as osteomalacia and bone frailty, cancers as well as seasonal and other depressions. We receive around 80% of our D vitamin need from sunlight and people spend increasingly more time indoors, e.g. at work. Lack of daylight and its impact on the health of building occupants is becoming ever more salient. The challenge to architects and lighting designers is to optimize the effect of light in future sustainable buildings,” says Mohammed Boubekri.

This was followed up by James Carpenter with this statement: “Bring back daylight to buildings and use the elements of light from the outside to the inside”. He works with transparency in windows and how light works through the building.

“We have to use light deep inside the buildings to enjoy the daylight, which depends on the materials you use. I work with the outside elements of daylight as inspiration, for example the reflection of light in water - and then turn it into daylight opportunities inside,” says James Carpenter.

Optimal daylight factor for energy-efficient toplighting system

Skylights can introduce considerable heat gain and loss that may offset the benefits of electric light savings and cause an increase in yearly net energy use. The design of a toplight system needs to take into consideration different toplighting types, including aperture size and orientation, electric lighting control, and, most importantly, the local climate.
