Transport and redirection of natural light
Baseline strategy · No scoreBrings or diverts light through tubes, fibers, prisms or optical elements to spaces with limited access to the outside.
How it works
Brings or diverts light through tubes, fibers, prisms or optical elements to spaces with limited access to the outside.
It combines daylight, electrical lighting and control to offer visibility and comfort with the lowest possible consumption and disturbance.
When does it make sense?
- When organizing holes, interiors, stalls and circuits
- When the visual need for each activity can be measured
- With participation of users and security care
How to apply it
- 1
Defining what need resolves "transport and redirect natural light" and establishing a starting situation.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3
Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Visual comfort
Lower power consumption
Better relationship with usage rates
Limitations and precautions
- The result depends on context, design, execution and how it is used and maintained.
- More light does not necessarily imply better visibility or well-being.
- Dazzling should be avoided and safety, accessibility and biodiversity respected.
