Translucent Daylighting
Translucent daylighting is an architectural strategy that uses translucent materials to allow natural light to penetrate a building while diffusing it to reduce glare and distribute light evenly. This approach enhances the quality of interior spaces by maximizing the use of natural daylight, improving energy efficiency, and creating a more comfortable environment for occupants.
