The New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia. 876 feet. Thatâs the amount of vertical space that exists between The New River Gorge Bridge and the water. Below is a tribute to natureâs wonder. Above is a modern engineering miracle. Bridge Day celebrates both, and all the space between.
A skylight providing internal illumination. Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting. Particular attention is given to daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy use.
A daylighting system is comprised not just of daylight apertures, such as skylights and windows, but is coupled with a daylight-responsive lighting control system. When there is adequate ambient lighting provided from daylight alone, this system has the capability to reduce electric lighting power.n addition to the considerations above regarding windows, a daylighting-optimized fenestration design will increase system performance. The window has two essential functions in a daylit building: (1) daylight delivery or admittance, and (2) provision of view to the occupants.
