Questions about the Daylight poster

What’s on the Daylight poster?

The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes. Daylight factor is the indoor illuminance as a percentage of the unobstructed outdoor…; DF = (indoor lux / outdoor lux) x 100; 300 lux in, 15000 out = 2 per cent; 750 in, 15000 out = 5 per cent; Window head 2.4 m = about 4.8 m of reach; Common mistake: Deep plan lit only from one side → Light from two sides, or from above. Educational reference. EN 17037 now sets target illuminance over a share of hours rather than a single daylight factor.

Who is the Daylight poster for?

Daylight belongs to the Architecture section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning environmental design can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Daylight poster?

Use it when judging whether a room is daylit, or whether the plan is simply too deep. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Daylight belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Daylight?

Airtightness, Embodied Carbon and Orientation sit alongside Daylight in the Architecture section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AirtightnessEmbodied CarbonOrientation

Is the Daylight poster free to download and print?

Yes. Daylight downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Architecture section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Daylight poster print at?

Daylight is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Daylight loses nothing.Printing guide
