There are several ways that a hotel's architecture can optimize natural light, such as:
1) Large windows - Architects can design the hotel with larger windows to allow more natural light to enter the rooms.
2) Light wells - Light wells are vertical shafts that run through a building and bring natural light into the interior spaces.
3) Skylights - Skylights can be integrated into the roof design to bring natural light into the interior spaces.
4) Light shelves - These are horizontal shelves designed to reflect natural light towards the ceiling, which creates a bright and airy atmosphere.
5) Clear glazing – Utilizing clear or transparent glass wherever possible to maximize the penetration of natural light into the rooms.
6) Orientation – The hotel can be designed with its orientation facing the sun in order to maximize the amount of natural light coming in, which can also help to reduce energy costs.
Overall, optimizing natural light in a hotel's architecture can help to create a more inviting and comfortable environment for guests while also reducing energy usage and costs.
