Abstract

AbstractA skylight system casts uniform levels of natural light over an area with minimum obstruction either internally or externally. In tropical climates, especially near the equator, the levels of solar radiation and conditions of sky appearance represent the main limitation in this region. In Malaysia, the application of skylight systems to single-storey buildings is limited because of environmental constraints that discourage its adoption. Understanding the allowable level of daylight in an indoor environment is crucial. Many standards, guidelines, and studies have provided various levels, but the desired level is still under debate. Therefore, this research aims to review and evaluate the allowable useful illuminance of daylight in the indoor environment from a skylight in single-storey buildings (used for office work) under Malaysian sky conditions. This study provides a comprehensive review of previous research on understanding daylight illuminance and Malaysian sky conditions. Based on this compr...
评估马来西亚单层建筑天窗允许的日光照度:综述
摘要天窗系统将均匀水平的自然光投射到一个区域上,使内部或外部的障碍物最小。在热带气候中,特别是在赤道附近,太阳辐射水平和天空外观条件是该地区的主要限制因素。在马来西亚,由于环境限制,单层建筑天窗系统的应用受到限制。了解室内环境允许的日光水平是至关重要的。许多标准、指南和研究都提供了不同的水平,但理想的水平仍在争论中。因此,本研究旨在审查和评估马来西亚天空条件下单层建筑(用于办公室工作)天窗在室内环境中允许的有用照度。这项研究提供了一个全面的回顾,了解日光照度和马来西亚的天空条件以前的研究。基于这台计算机…
