<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you might be interested in a new textbook called the
<i>Daylighting Handbook I</i>, that I just completed. The book is organized into two parts,
<i>Fundamentals</i> and <i>Designing with the Sun</i>. <i>Fundamentals</i> serves as a general introduction to daylighting, its implementation and its daily and seasonal availability. It also explains how light helps us to perceive the world around us and to
maintain our circadian rhythm. A practical approach to building massing via rules of thumb is provided in chapter 5.
<i>Designing with the Sun</i> introduces the reader to methods of how to determine where the sun is located in the sky throughout the year. Chapter 7 shows how this information can be used to design static shading devices. Heliodon studies using physical models
are discussed in chapter 8. <o:p></o:p></p>
