Daylighting

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Solar Energy

Part of the book series: Energy Systems in Electrical Engineering ((ESIEE))

Abstract

Solar energy directly provides illumination (lux) inside a building without any additional heat (thermal energy) source, unlike artificial lighting, and saves the use of conventional (fossil) fuels. This can be treated as one method to conserve available fossil fuels.
