When planning buildings in which people are to work and live, the efficient use of natural daylight and solar energy is increasingly important. The challenge is to compensate the different lighting requirements in winter and summer. Integrated daylight deflection systems buildings, utilize and store solar energy to save artificial lighting, air-conditioning and heating costs. Extensively researched and impressively illustrated with a large number of computer simulations and photographs of built examples, this volume is more than an introduction to the basic principles, functions, designs and calculation methods of advanced light-guidance technology for architects, lighting designers, building and climate engineers. In particular it provides detailed documentation of the new Retro-Technology systems, explaining the role they can and do play in integrated façade and building design and planning processes. distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.

Bei der Planung von Gebäuden spielt der gezielte Umgang mit Tageslicht und Solarenergie zunehmend eine elementare Rolle. Ziel ist es, die Architektur in ein homöostatisches Gleichgewicht mit den dynamischen Anforderungen des sommerlichen und winterlichen Klimas und der Sonnenbahnen zu bringen. Mit Hilfe der Tageslichtlenkung, insbesondere auf der Grundlage der Retro-Technik (einer Lichtumlenkungstechnik mittels spiegelnder Elemente) können neue Dimensionen im Glas- und Fassadenbau erschlossen werden. Das vorliegende Buch führt Architekten, Lichtplaner, Bauphysiker und Klimaingenieure in Grundlagen, Funktionen, Gestaltungen und Berechnungsmethoden zur Tageslichttechnik ein und illustriert diese durch zahlreiche Abbildungen von Computersimulationen und gebauten Beispielen. Es beschreibt die Konsequenzen der Forschungsergebnisse des Autors für die Gebäudeplanung und erläutert umfassend die Funktion der Tageslichtbauelemente für eine Fassaden- und Gebäudetechnik im Sinne eines integralen Planungsansatzes.
