Course Description: AEC Daily: The Human Benefits of Tubular Daylighting
Lighting is one of the most influential elements of the indoor environment, with far-reaching effects on the human body, mind, and spirit. For architects, designing spaces prioritizing natural light is critical to fostering comfort, productivity, and well-being. This course explores the health and wellness benefits of tubular daylighting systems and their role in creating healthier, more sustainable indoor environments. Also noted are applicable credits in the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction rating systems and features in the WELL Building Standard™ version 2. The course concludes with a review of several case studies.
Discuss the benefits of daylight on occupant health, wellness, circadian rhythms, and visual comfort when incorporating tubular daylighting devices (TDDs), which also align with daylighting requirements in WELL v2 and LEED v5.
Explain how tubular daylighting devices can decrease energy costs by reducing radiant heat gain.
Describe TDDs in applications that provide comfortable, glare-free daylight that improves occupant well-being and performance as reflected in WELL v2 and LEED v5 requirements.
Recall examples of successful case studies utilizing tubular daylighting to benefit the health and well-being of building occupants by increasing productivity and improving mood and eye comfort.
