Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight: A Guide to Good Practice
Fully revised and updated, this guide gives advice on site layout planning to achieve good sunlighting and daylighting both within buildings and in the open spaces between them. Widely used during the planning and design stages of building development, the new edition of BR 209 is a 'must have' for building and planning professionals.
This guide gives advice on site layout planning to achieve good sunlighting and daylighting both within buildings and in the open spaces between them. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the interior daylight recommendations in the British Standard Code of practice for daylighting, BS 8206-2. It contains guidance on site layout to provide good natural lighting within a new development; safeguarding of daylight and sunlight within existing buildings nearby; and the protection of daylighting of adjoining land for future development.
A special section deals with site layout for passive solar buildings that use the sun as a source of heating energy. Guidance is also given on the sunlighting of gardens and amenity areas. issues like privacy, enclosure, microclimate, road layout and security are briefly reviewed. The appendices contain methods to quantify access to sunlight and daylight within a layout.
This guide is a comprehensive revision of the 1991 edition of Site layout planning for daylight and sunlight: A guide to good practice. It is purely advisory and the numerical target values within it may be varied to meet the needs of the development and its location.
