Summary/Abstract: In this study, which aims to examine the methods of using daylight within the framework of sustainability in the classrooms and library structures of educational institutions, the use and development of lighting systems will be discussed in order to create a sustainable and more livable environment by making maximum use of daylight. Educational institutions, classrooms (offices) and library buildings are places where people spend most of their time. For this reason, it is possible to provide maximum energy efficiency and comfort of use by increasing the daylight utilization conditions of educational institutions, classrooms (offices) and library buildings. Sunlight is the rays emanating from the sun and giving life to the entire universe. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and wavelength that can be perceived by the human eye. In this spectrum, solar radiation is ordered according to wavelengths. For centuries, daylight was the only source of using light. The aim of creating gaps wide enough to diffuse daylight into the building dominated the architecture. Advanced daylight systems and control strategies, user-friendly and low-energy building sites are another step forward in providing daylight. These systems must be integrated into a building's overall architectural strategy and design process. Light strategies and design strategies of office buildings are inseparable. Daylight both replaces artificial light by reducing energy use and affects the heating-cooling function. The daylight project therefore involves integrating the needs and perspectives of various experts and expertise. Daylight design starts with the selection of the building location and continues until it is inhabited. Daylight strategies are designed to scatter the surrounding rays indoors in closed weather, where there is no steep sunlight. In this case, windows and skylights were applied to bring daylight into the building in closed weather conditions.
