Strategy description: Facilitating using natural lighting and ventilation instead of artificial lighting and ventilation systems.
Example: Providing openable and accessible windows in the interior spaces to provide the user with the means of having natural lighting and ventilation during the day time.
Advantages: This strategy contributes to resource renewability, as using natural lighting/ventilation is a way of using resources in a manner that reduces the need to consume non-renewable resources. In addition, natural lighting and ventilation contribute to increasing user stratification with the thermal and visual comfort-related indicators, respectively.
Disadvantages/challenges: Facilitating using natural lighting and ventilation could be limited and hindered by the original design of the building.
