Abstract
There is increasing interest concerning daylighting in the
building sector. However, such knowledge is difficult to
penetrate the curricula of architects and designers as
existing educational programmes often do not provide
sufficient training on BPS. This also leads to superficial
use of daylight simulations.
This paper presents a proposal for a needs-based
education package on daylighting design, that mixes
modular eLearning and an intensive summer school,
called NLITED.
The NLITED model includes modules on daylight
simulation whose implementation (in eLearning key) can
trigger a constructive discussion and receive valuable
feedback from the Nordic community of BPS specialists.
