Fenestration Design

Fenestration Design is a building science discipline that constitutes the systematic design of openings in the building envelope—such as windows, skylights, and curtain walls—for the controlled admission of daylight, solar energy, and ventilation, distinguished by its integrative role in balancing thermal performance, visual comfort, and energy efficiency within architectural and environmental design.
