Daylighting strategies aim to maximize natural light penetration into regularly occupied spaces.
Private offices (used by fewer people) should be placed toward the core, so they don’t block windows.
Open workspaces/cubicles (used by more people) should be placed at the perimeter, where daylight is most available.
This layout helps distribute daylight more evenly, reduces glare, and supports LEED Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) – Daylight credits.
To improve daylighting in an office building, design strategies focus on maximizing daylight penetration into occupied spaces:
Private offices near the building perimeter allow windows to bring natural light directly to those rooms.
Cubicles or open-plan workstations near the building core can benefit from daylight that filters through the space and from supplemental lighting.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Provide individual occupant task lighting
Helps occupants control lighting but does not improve daylighting itself.
B. Work with the project glazing contractor to specify low argon windows
Low argon windows improve thermal performance, not daylight transmission.
C. Locate private offices toward the building core and organize cubicles at the perimeter
This reduces daylight access for private offices and limits daylight penetration overall.
