IEA SHC Task 31

The objective of the Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Programme of the International Energy Agency (IEA) under IEA Task 31 was to make daylighting the typical and preferred design solution for lighting buildings in the twenty-first century by integrating human response with the application of daylighting systems and shading and electric light control strategies. LBNL collaborated with researchers world-wide to develop guidance and tools for promoting the use of daylight in buildings.
