Alternate Meaning

Hi, I am very inexperienced at Wikipedia so have no idea what would be the best way to implement this, but "Daylighting" also refers to exposing underground utilities (to daylight). This is done to ease large-scale excavation and for safety. See the following:

Clerestory Windows

One important element of creating daylighting is the use of clerestory windows. These are high, vertically-placed windows oriented to the south to admit sunlight for daylighting.

Am I correct in assuming that this definition is only correct in the Northern hemisphere? --Brion

Another ligting type not described

Passive light not described; see Ted Bears passive solar light. Include in article.

Aerogel transparent insulation?

This article suggests (without citation) that aerogel is used as transparent insulation. I find this highly improbable. While aerogel is transparent and insulative, it is also phenomenally expensive. I suspect this to be original research. I am removing it. If anyone finds a source, feel free to put it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.56.245 (talk) 06:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
