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.
The components of a daylighting system are designed to bring natural light into a building in such a way that electric lights can be dimmed or turned off for a portion of the day, while preventing occupant discomfort or other building loads from increasing.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.
