===Qualitative=== Utilizing natural light is one of the design aspects in architecture; In 1929, the French architect, [[Le Corbusier]] said that "The history of architectural material... has been the endless struggle for light... in other words, the history of windows." As he emphasized in his architecture (such as [[Notre Dame du Haut]]), daylighting has been a major architectural design element (See [[MIT Chapel]] and [[Church of the Light]] for examples). Not only the aesthetic aspects, the impact of daylighting on [[healthy building|human health]] and work performance is also considered as qualitative daylighting.<ref>{{cite journal | last1= Aries | first1= M.B.C. | last2 = Aarts | first2 = M.
