IDL Daylight analysis of Northeast Branch Library

Northeast Branch interior lighting   Northeast Branch Library Daylighting

Seattle Northeast Branch Library
Architects: Miller | Hull

The Miller|Hull Partnership completed an addition to the existing Northeast Branch Library in 2004. The IDL worked with Miller|Hull to assess various daylighting strategies.

The performance of several skylight shapes and sizes were analyzed along with other options such as light shelves and overhangs. IDL physical modeling simulations assessed both interior daylight levels and potential glare due to direct Sun for each scenario.
