Enjoying Daylight at Work? Or is it more like the Dark Hole of Calcutta there?

Who isn’t happier for daylight streaming into places of work, or in our homes? The LEED 3rd-party rating system being employing for the proposed building has a credit for projects that achieve 75% daylighting of all interior spaces. Good idea, eh? More sustainable due to greater healthiness in buildings, right? Well, your project could even achieve exemplary credit under LEED if the design accommodates 90% daylighting of all interior spaces. Light shelving and/or skylights would likely have to be employed in order to help project daylight into meeting and classroom spaces. Let’s keep in mind, though, that the design of our proposed building has many factors to be considered such that 90% may not be achievable. Your design team will attempt one LEED point with daylighting at 75%. Hey, maybe 80-85% is attainable?
