Mechanical and Lighting Coordination for Daylight Solutions
This course will look at the following daylighting topics: Mechanical Coordination, Lighting Coordination
Continuing Education
Use the following learning objectives to focus your study while reading this month’s Continuing Education article.
Learning Objectives - After reading this article, you will be able to:
- Describe how to design a mechanical system to serve a low-energy building and create a comfortable environment, optimizing the use of daylighting and shading design elements.
- Explain ways in which low-energy mechanical system design benefits from good coordination between the mechanical engineer and the rest of the design team.
- Discuss how to design the lighting system to best integrate with daylight and provide controls for high-performance, comfortable, and energy-efficient lighting.
- Identify factors related to cost-effectiveness of daylighting.
This course is part of the Daylighting Academy
Mechanical coordination and lighting coordination are key factors when considering how to approach cost-effective and energy-efficient daylighting strategies in building design. This course will provide practical guidance on mechanical system design and lighting system design and will look at the benefits of coordination with the various players involved in the project as well as system integration with daylight so as to maximize efficiencies and performance.
