1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Sunlight is a fantastic resource that is oftentimes left unexplored. It’s well

known that it has a direct relationship with our health as well as energy
sustainability, but it’s not being used to its full potential. In fact, despite its cost-
effective means of reducing the need for traditional electrical lighting,
architectural education hardly embraces the concept of improving natural
lighting.
Often gone unmentioned, here are some key strategies and concepts of daylight
that can assist in better incorporating the sun and its beneficial consequences
into design and architecture. These factors can significantly impact and reduce
the demand for electrical energy (which can in turn reflect positively on
operating costs).

1.1.1 location and facades

Keeping climate/location in mind, large-scale design for daylight begins at the

elementary step of planning. Districts and buildings strive for designs that
receive daylight and use it as a source of heat and lighting. If done properly, all
variables can be used to benefit the edifice. A facades can be analyzed in terms
of the lighting it receives. The basic levels of lighting depend on whether there
is direct or indirect sunlight as well as whether there is cloud coverage. If there
is cloud coverage, indirect and direct lighting apply as well-indirect cloudy
lighting refers to lighting received from light being reflected off the ground.

Direct sunlight has a defined significance via visual and thermal comfort;
intense direct sunlight can be uncomfortable in both these facets. However, it
can easily be reflected onto the ceiling, converting and optimizing bright but
comfortable indirect light.
1.2 AIM & OBJECTIVES

 Natural light plays a major role in our perception of space. Architects

have known for centuries that spaces lit naturally tend to feel more
spacious and expansive than spaces lit by artificial lighting

1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION

 There are several new technologies and tools that enable incorporation of
natural lighting into design, not only for aesthetic purposes but for
sustainable, energy-saving measures as well.

 The demand for day lighting has caused lighting systems to become more
affordable and more available in the market, which helps designers take
advantage of natural lighting, and ultimately drives down costs for the client.

CONCLUSION

The theory of day lighting in architectural design represents

the application of physics to the problem of obtaining the best effect
for utilizing·_ natural lighting and, providing the most suitable
environment with adequate and comfortable illumination and healthy
living conditions. The quality of both the exterior and interior of
building depends on the availability of natural light. The planning,
forms, elevations, orientation and the window design affect the daylight
penetration and illumination; the interior and exterior forms and the
selection of colour in decorations are dependent on the existing
natural lighting conditions.

Daylight design in architecture requires a consideration of

both the quantity and quality of natural light, the problem being to
provide adequate wanted light to the interior and to exclude unwanted
light from the room. The quantity of natural light is determined by
the size and positioning of· the fenestration. Numerical estimate can
be obtained from many computational techniques. The best method for
computing daylight has been devised by the Building Research Station
of England, but the methods of single stage calculation of total daylight
are more simplified and. conveniently used by the architects. The quality'
of daylight in architectural design is important because good lighting
can provide a pleasant and comfortable working environment and enjoyable
