Daylighting and daylighting control is now recognized as best practice in energy codes and industry standards such as LEED, Advanced Buildings Benchmark, ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Office Buildings and the Northeast Collaborative for High Performance Schools. Daylighting control, what makes daylighting energy-saving and sustainable, is the subject of EE201:Daylight Harvesting, a new, comprehensive course in the Lighting Controls Association’s EDUCATION EXPRESS free 24/7 online education program. Happy Holidays!
