Robbins, C L

This book covers aspects of daylighting in commercial, institutional, industrial, and residential buildings. All types of buildings in various geographic areas are examined, with case studies, models, analytical tools, and data for calculation of annual cost and energy savings also included. This book features newly developed computer, factorial, graphic, and modeling analysis techniques. Twenty-two appendices provide data on sunlight availability for 75 cities, overlays, analysis formulas, nomograms, material reflectances, illuminance categories, and cooling-load factors. This ''stand-alone'' resource is organized to correspond to the building design process. Contents: Light: Daylight, Buildings, and Design. The Luminous Environment. The Daylight and Sunlight Resource. Daylighting Concepts: Designing Sidelighting Concepts. Designing Top and Beam Daylighting Concepts. Atria, Light Courts, and Sun Control Concepts. Planning for Daylighting. Daylighting Analysis: The Lumen Input Method of Analysis. The Daylight Factor Method of Analysis. The Flux Transfer Method of Analysis. Physical Scale Modeling of Daylight. Glare Analysis. Lighting Integration: Electric Lighting Design and Analysis. Daylight-Electric Light Integration. Appendices. Nomenclature. Bibliography. Index.
