Daylighting has been a part of built forms throughout architectural
history. Interest in using daylighting as a major design element
has varied with the social and economic forces of the time. Since
1973, interest in daylighting has increased as a result of oil
embargo and the understanding that electric lighting represents a
major energy consumer. Energy savings achieved through the use of
daylight also translate into energy cost savings from reduced
electricity consumption for lighting and cooling as well as from
reduced needs during peak demand periods in many building. The
objective of this paper is to explain the great importance for
daylighting and the role played in design process for the building
and the participation in the design from the first step which
effects the designer decision for dimensions, position for the
opening and the building orientation, etc... Which give the
psychological comfort for building user and how to control the heat
transfer throw opening by using different materials and using
simulation programs which give to the designer a clear image for
what will be a situation all the year around.
