4. Facade openings
4.1 Facade typologies
There are many typological characteristics that influence the daylighting potential of a building.
These include
the proportion of glazing: solid facades punctuated by openings / fully glazed curtain walls;
the shape of openings: horizontal/vertical glazed bands;
facade composition: single / double glazed envelopes / openwork screens.
The typologies mentioned above have often developed in relation to the technologies available, but also as a function of more subjective architectural movements or trends.
