Daylighting is a strategy that uses natural light to illuminate the interior spaces of a building, reducing the need for artificial lighting and improving the visual comfort and well-being of the occupants. One of the strategies that can help improve daylighting in an office building is to locate private offices toward the building core and organize cubicles at the perimeter, so that more people can benefit from the access to windows and views.This can also increase the daylight penetration depth and reduce glare and contrast12.Reference: LEED v4 Green Associate Candidate Handbook1, LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide2

I feel like option D is the right choice since it maximizes daylight for private offices, but I wonder if it could lead to privacy issues for those in cubicles.

I remember discussing task lighting in class, so option A could definitely enhance individual workspaces, but it might not improve overall daylighting.

I think option C makes sense because it allows more natural light to reach the cubicles, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best layout for all office types.

I think providing individual occupant task lighting could help, but I'm not sure if it's the best option for improving overall daylighting.
