Lighting the Way
Kennedy, Mike
American School & University, v79 n7 p32 Mar 2007
In recent years, more education administrators and designers have embraced the potential benefits of daylighting. They have been persuaded that using natural light to illuminate facilities enables schools and universities to conserve energy and provide a learning environment in which students perform better. For daylighting advocates, the challenge of persuading reluctant administrators to incorporate daylighting into their facilities has eased. Now proponents are trying to figure out new techniques and strategies that will tap the full potential of daylight in schools. This article discusses the daylighting strategies used at Northern Guilford Middle School in Greensboro, North Carolina. These strategies are an example of the efforts to deliver more natural light more efficiently to learning spaces.
