This is a consideration with significant potential to shape the built environment.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Rose said a study of usage levels of five libraries in Berkeley, California, revealed the facility with the poorest daylighting saw the lowest use. This same library became Berkeley\u2019s most popular after a daylighting-focused renovation.<\/p>\n<p>Lappano and Protzman explored the complexity of daylighting, with Lappano emphasizing the importance of a coordinated team approach supported by the architect, lighting designer, and mechanical and electrical engineers. She further stressed it is important for the team to keep in mind more daylighting does not equate to better daylighting, and can even have negative effects on lighting quality. Protzman also noted the team\u2019s solution should be developed as early as possible in the project.<\/p>\n<p>These two panelists also discussed daylighting\u2019s effects on building design and its costs. For instance, Lappano noted a tendency toward \u2018slimmer\u2019 buildings allowing comprehensive views to the exterior. Protzman also observed that while a daylighting-focused design can cost more to build, it also justifies higher prices for space acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>To watch the panel\u2014moderated by Randy Reid, <em>EdisonReport<\/em> editor and publisher\u2014see the video above.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39727\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39727\" style=\"width: 268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39727 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/bigstock-178330501.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The effects of daylighting were discussed at the National Lighting Bureau\u2019s Annual Lighting Forum.<\/span> <br \/><em>Photo \u00a9 BigStockPhoto<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the National Lighting Bureau\u2019s (NLB\u2019s) Annual Lighting Forum, panelists delved into the effect of daylighting on office workers\u2019 health and productivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1836,"featured_media":39728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1029],"tags":[65,45,3286,1329,1669],"class_list":["post-39721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-daylighting","tag-lighting","tag-national","tag-national-lighting-bureau","tag-productivity","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
