It provides a historical analysis of daylighting and shading in the architectural design of both commercial and residential buildings. The book emphasizes the importance of natural lighting and efficient glazing systems and discusses how these systems relate to the physical and mental well-being of building occupants. It illustrates how effective daylighting and shading strategies can help achieve sustainability goals and yield financial benefits by reducing reliance on concrete and steel and minimizing artificial lighting and excessive electricity consumption. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eProfessor Ali Sayigh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e is Chairman and Founder of the World Renewable Energy Congress and Council, Director General of the World Renewable Energy Network (WREN), Chairman and Founder of the Arab Solar Energy Society, and Past Chairman of the UK Solar Energy Society.
