Mechanical and Lighting Coordination for Daylight Solutions

This course will look at the following daylighting topics: Mechanical Coordination, Lighting Coordination
Sponsored by Draper Inc. and Phifer Incorporated

Learning Objectives:

  1. 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.
  2. Explain ways in which low-energy mechanical system design benefits from good coordination between the mechanical engineer and the rest of the design team.
  3. Discuss how to design the lighting system to best integrate with daylight and provide controls for high-performance, comfortable, and energy-efficient lighting.
  4. Identify factors related to cost-effectiveness of daylighting.
