LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • 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.
