Ways to light dark and underground rooms with natural light
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2024.12.036-047
Abstract
This article explores three current natural lighting solutions for dimly lit underground buildings. It analyzes the advantages, disadvantages, and influencing factors of each method, including skylight illumination, light tube systems, and fiber optic systems. The paper also outlines the ideal applications for each approach, providing a foundational understanding of natural lighting solutions for underground structures.
