THE DAYLIGHTING LAB started in 2004 under the leadership of Prof. Marilyne Andersen. By the spring of 2005, a dark chamber including appropriate optical equipment was built and made available to the group.

RESEARCH IN DAYLIGHTING focuses on increasing how much natural light we can use in buildings, so as to decrease energy consumption for lighting, heating and cooling, improve comfort and well-being, generate aesthetical value, and provide a connection to the outside. Current projects aim at providing more support for design, open up technological innovations, refine daylighting metrics, and overall, bring more daylighting inside ... in a better way.
