Daylight guidance systems are linear devices that channel daylight into the core of a building This paper analyses costs and benefits of using the two main classes of daylight guidance to light offices as an alternative to conventional electric lighting The work demonstrates that daylight guidance is generally not economical using conventionally accepted measures of both cost and benefit. It is shown that if intangible benefits associated with the delivery of daylight to offices are included in an analysis a more favourable balance of cost and benefit is obtained The implications of this for practical use of the systems are discussed (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
