AbstractThis study propose a design procedure for daylighting based on the use of a set of daylight factor curves produced for typical perimeter zones in building with windows. The cases considered include perimeter zones with different window/wall ratio in 8 compass directions, and standard reflective values for wall, ceiling and floor. The procedure utilizes recommended illumination levels derived from proposed radiation records of one full year. The procedure is applied to a case study building. Physical measurement were performed and the results were analyzed and presented. Statistical frequency distribution of exterior horizontal daylight illumination values are used to stratify illumination levels for use in conjunction with the daylight factor curves to determine the supplementary artificial lighting required to satisfy a given lighting requirement.
