The intent of the Lighting, Daylighting and Integrated Design Lab (IDL) is to: 1) evaluate electric lighting and daylighting solutions for building energy efficiency; and, 2)Introduce Whole Building Design (WBD) project to students wherein they integrate their learning from Passive Comfort and HVAC Lab in making an existing building energy efficient one by evaluating and simulating it. The WBD approach considered is climate analysis, envelope optimization, HVAC & Lighting Energy Conservation Measures, and simple payback Analysis.
