2009 - Daylight Symposium
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING DESIGN IN RELATION TO DAYLIGHTING by Kees Duijvestein
Speakers
Kees Duijvestein
Consultant & professor
Daylight plays a major role in good building design and becomes even more important when the impacts of daylight on energy consumption and the liveability of the inhabitants are considered. Energy consumption, liveability ,health (and thereby daylight) are important parameters in sustainable building design The workshop will be initiated by three presentations on lighting in a sustainable building context, followed by discussions on priorities and ambitions. The discussions will be structured by means of the so called DCBA method.
Kees Duijvestein is awarded for his significant contribution to the development of sustainable buildings in the Netherlands. Apart from his chair as professor in “Sustainable Building” at the TU Delft, Kees Duijvestein is working as a consultant and has participated in and given inspiration to many projects: Ecolonia in Alphen aan den Rijn, DE Wijk in Tilburg, Nieuwland en Vathorst in Amersfoort, Groote Wielen in Den Bosch, Schalkwijk in Haarlem and Stad van de Zon in Heerhugowaard. Kees Duijvestein has developed the DCBA method – a design method that can help the designer to deal – in a structured manner – with the numerous possibilities he has.
