Master the art of designing light shelves for enhanced visual comfort and daylight distribution in educational spaces
Light shelves are an essential architectural feature for enhancing visual comfort and daylight performance in buildings, especially in educational spaces. This course delves into optimizing light shelf dimensions, orientations, and rotation angles to achieve balanced daylight distribution and minimize glare. It uses insights from advanced simulation tools and real-world case studies, including data from educational spaces in Tehran, Iran, to explore the interplay between light shelf geometry and occupant comfort.
Participants will gain practical knowledge of designing and implementing light shelves for various building orientations, tailored to different climates and light conditions.
