TLDR
In this article, the authors describe the challenges of building with large windows and glass facades, known jointly as glazings, for achieving good day-lighting and indoors-outdoors contact.Abstract:
Modern buildings normally have large windows and glass facades, known jointly as glazings, for achieving good day-lighting and indoors-outdoors contact. However, glazings are challenging for the bu ...read more
