Daylight design for urban residential planning in Poland: in regulations and practice. A comparison study of daylight conditions observed in the four neighbouring residential areas

This paper reports on the partial results of the research aiming to illustrate how an integration of daylight design into an architectural planning process can help designers to create the residential buildings in respect to the environmental issues, solar and illuminance gains, as well as, the residents’ needs and comfort. It describes how changing daylight recommendations affected the design of the block of flats regarding their orientation, the spacing, the forms, and a size of the windows in the four urban residential areas. The comparison of daylighting conditions inside these buildings emphasises how the architectural design decisions influenced the quality of life within the investigated regions. The results of this study help to determine the more precise characterisation of daylight indicators useful in architectural planning.
