Abstract
Daylight has always been part of architectural practice since architects have used it to define spaces and create complex structures. Daylighting is, nowadays, seen as key strategy for sustainability, energy efficiency and resilience in buildings. This article aims to investigate daylight requirements in reference documents for architectural practice through the collection and qualitative analysis of documents. 117 reference documents were analysed and divided into standards, rating systems, building and urban codes, regulations and guidelines. Results show that static and dynamic metrics are common within standards and rating systems while building and urban codes and regulations often use metrics based on building and urban geometry. Among standards and rating systems, Daylight Factor (DF) is still one of the most used metrics, even if dynamic metrics offer advanced analyses; building and urban codes and regulations are very specific for each location, with a predominant use of geometric metrics; and guidelines can use both types of metrics.
