Daylight, Thermal Comfort and Indoor Environmental Quality in Green Star Projects
Green Star is not only about energy, carbon and materials. It also considers the quality of the indoor environment that people use every day. Daylight, glare control, thermal comfort, air quality, acoustics and lighting quality can all influence how a building feels, performs and supports the people inside it.
This article explains how indoor environmental quality connects daylight and thermal comfort in Green Star projects. For broader service information, visit our Daylight Modelling Knowledge Hub or our Thermal Comfort Modelling Knowledge Hub.
