This Labs21
Best Practice Guide describes
how to implement this strategy:
- Daylighting in Laboratories
These Labs21 Case Studies implement this strategy:
- NIH Building
50 incorporates double-height windows and daylight-based
dimming of electrical lighting in laboratory spaces. (see pg.
3,4)
- The Pharmacia
building incorporates interior light shelves and
daylight atria. (see pg. 5)
- The Georgia Public
Health laboratory uses clerestory windows
to bring daylight into interior laboratory spaces. (see pg. 6)
- The Nidus Center achieves daylighting with view windows and transom
windows, and the use of external shading devices (see pg. 4)
- The
Sandia PETL uses high efficiency glazing and external sunshades
(pg. 10)
- The Whitehead
Building has daylighting for 90% of the labs and offices (pg.5)
See the Daylighting
resource page in the Whole
Building Design Guide, for general information on daylighting
strategies in commercial buildings
