Effective Daylighting with High-Performance Facade. Este artículo no está disponible.Effective Daylighting with High-Performance Facade

The book explores advanced building-facade daylighting design practices based on diverse energy and human-factor performance metrics. It also defines effective daylighting by rethinking the simplified approach to glazing and facade systems to incorporate the local climate and the needs of building occupants as critical drivers of building performance, design solutions and technological innovation. It discusses state-of-the-art approaches in the context of simulation-based design workflows, innovative technologies and real project case studies, all targeting low and net-zero energy solutions that enhance occupant comfort. Readers benefit from a comprehensive approach that improves the feedback loop between design intent and performance in use. The book is intended for architects, lighting designers, facade engineers, manufacturers and building owners/operators, as well as advanced students.

Stephen Selkowitz is Senior Advisor for Building Science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, now in a part-time research and strategic planning role after leading LBNL’s building performance teams in research, development, and deployment of energy efficient technologies and sustainable design practices.  An internationally recognized expert on window technologies, window software tools, façade systems, shading solutions, daylighting strategies, and integrated building systems solutions, he led the LBNL Windows Group for 40 years and the LBNL Building Technologies Department for 25 years, partnering with industry to develop and demonstrate new technologies, systems, processes and tools that address energy, sustainability and human factors. He serves as Scientific Advisor to several international building science programs that explore zero net energy building solutions, serves as a consultant to industry, has spoken at over 400 scientific, business and industry venues and authored over 170 publications, 4 books and holds 2 patents. He holds an AB in Physics from Harvard College and an MFA in Environmental Design from California Institute of the Arts. In 2012 he was the recipient of LBNL’s first “Lifetime Achievement Award for Societal Impact”; in 2014 he received McGraw Hill/ENR’s prestigious “Award of Excellence” for “relentlessly working to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and for moving the nation towards better building performance” and in 2016 was elected to the College of Fellows in the Façade Tectonics Institute.
