SUMMARY:

Daylight has been part of the architectural practice, since architects always used it to define spaces and create complex structures. Daylighting is, nowadays,seen as key strategy for sustainability, energy efficiency and resilience in buildings. In this context, it is vital to verify how daylight is approached in referencedocuments — that is, documents that base and guide urban and buildings’ projects, as standards, rating systems, building and urban codes, regulations andguidelines. Usually, recommendations are made by daylight requirements, which are composed by metrics — a way to evaluate something through acombination of representative conditions — and parameters — a limit or numerical value that acts as guideline for an activity or a policy, enabling judgementor evaluation of something. This research aims to investigate daylight requirements and their application in reference documents, to assess the feasibility ofthe requirements’ harmonization at a global scale. For that, the steps fulfilled are: a systematic literature review; a collection of primary documents —standards, rating systems, building and urban codes, regulations and guidelines — to verify how daylight requirements are approached in different countries;a survey application to daylight specialists from different countries; analysis of primary documents; a classification of the requirements and metrics found; andan analysis of the data with a climatic focus. First results show that non-geometric metrics, both static and dynamic, are common within Standards and RatingSystems, while Building and Urban Codes and Regulations used more often the geometric/design metrics. In Guidelines, both types can be used, dependingon the focus of the document. The most used metrics are Daylight Factor (DF) and variations, Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA), Exposure to Sunlight, DaylightGlare Probability (DGP), Window-to-Floor Ratio (WFR), and Setbacks.
