Fast forward to today, when the impact of natural light on our well-being and productivity has been recognized, and daylighting design has become an integral part of architecture. However, natural light has its dark sides. Poorly designed daylighting systems can be guilty of something we at Okalux like to call daylighting crimes: blinding glare, uneven lightning, excessive reflections, colour changes and overheating or cooling of rooms leading to waste of energy - all problems that can be avoided with the right architectural glazing and some preparations:
- Make daylighting a façade design goal
- Consider the building orientation
- Control glare & privacy
- Do a daylight model
One of the most cost-effective solutions? Our OKALUX light-diffusing insulated glass!
