AIA+2030 Online Series Course 6: Daylighting and Integrated Lighting Design

Strategies for maximizing natural light, while controlling for glare and unwanted heat gain.

Description: 

Electric lighting accounts for a significant portion of a typical building’s energy load. Daylighting can be intergrated with efficient artificial lighting to provide occupant comfort and productivity in buildings of all types, while minimizing energy consumption. This course will identify strategies for maximizing natural light, while controlling for glare and unwanted heat gain.

The AIA+2030 Online Series is an AIA and Architecture 2030 co-production, sponsored by Autodesk and delivered through AIAU.
