Abstract
Daylight is an essential factor in lightening buildings. Its use is not only oriented to supply illumination to the spaces to provide adequate lightening levels for the optimum execution of their occupants` tasks, but also to supply the appropriate illumination level required in each case for specific functions, as well as to contribute to the psychophysiological health of its users and provide a favorable ambient and the germicide action in the ultraviolet component of the sunlight and besides a portion of vitamin {sup D,} that is needed for people`s health. On the other hand, the rational and efficient use of daylight can contribute to the diminish the consumption of electric power, that is used for the artificial lightning of buildings. This situation is particularly important in hot climates, where the consumption of electricity for lightening interior spaces is huge, mainly in non-dwelling buildings. In this paper the possibilities of the utilization of daylight are explored and analyzed for the purpose of achieving energy savings and the visual thermal and lightning comfort in buildings.
