Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective

surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting.
Particular attention is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is
to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy use. Energy savings can be achieved
either from the reduced use of artificial (electric) lighting or from passive solar
heating or cooling. Artificial lighting energy use can be reduced by simply installing
fewer electric lights.
