Description	Nature is all expansive with infinite power, as Albert Einstein said, 'We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.' A symbiotic relationship between exterior illumination and interior illumination is the main concern of sustainable architecture. The dynamic radiant energy exchanges characterize this relation and foster the luminous environmental performance of buildings and the visual comfort of their occupants and affect the energy use. The objective is to harness the exterior illumination from the sun, the sky, and the ground (reflected light) – in all its highly dynamic nature – to illuminate the interior space, while eliminating the solar heat gain. The building envelope is the interface between the exterior illumination and the interior illumination requirement. Thus, the building envelope becomes the opening, the filter, the reflector, the diffuser, and the shaper of daylight. The quantity and quality of daylight vary across the earth, and its unique and dynamic properties add visual beauty and complexity to architecture. Knowledge and understanding of the physical principles underlying these radiant energy exchange, along with the design concepts/strategies and computational tools to translate them into sustainable architecture, form the core of this chapter.
