This seminar starts by examining classic, daylight-designed buildings of the past. It then discusses how to harness this natural, freely-available light, before addressing the codes and standards (BR209/BREEAM) that are part of the modern planning process. Daylight is out there, and buildings need to be designed well to let it in!
