Designing for Daylight is a key to create healthy spaces in Learning Environments

A daylight photometer is a device used to measure the intensity and distribution of natural light in a space, helping optimize daylighting for energy efficiency and visual comfort.

Adequate lighting enhances concentration, reduces eye strain, and improves overall learning performance.

A photometer can be used to assess the brightness of light in an area, allowing designers to adjust lighting levels for optimal visibility and energy efficiency.

Covered patios are valuable outdoor spaces in schools. It is important to carefully design their orientation, proportions and finishes to avoid cavernous spaces.

Harvesting daylight into the classrooms

Daylight Study:

To maximize daylight penetration deeper into the classrooms, and minimize glare for visual comfort, in this case study, we analyzed calibrating the light shelves located along the window with the ceiling panels.
