Webinar: A Complete Picture of Daylight - IBPSA-USA NYC Chapter

This is a recording of a NYC Chapter webinar, held on January 12, 2017. Daylighting is arguably the primary, experiential and physiological connection occupants have with a building. In addition, it's the simplest and most cost-effective means of reducing a building's electrical energy use. Yet it's often the most misunderstood and underutilized system in a building's design.
