Lighting and Integrated Design Lab

The Lighting and Integrated Design Lab was a comprehensive learning module for daylighting evaluation, electric lighting design, and evaluating facade design iterations using multiple tools for optimized lighting, including maximized daylighting and uniform light distribution in a given space. The Whole Building Design process inculcated an integrated design approach right from Climate analysis, envelope optimization, lighting and daylighting design, zoning strategies, and HVAC optimization, combined to minimize operational energy and make the building energy efficient.
