| Summary: | The recent global warming problem has a significant impact on architecture design as architects have been forced to be careful regarding environmental impacts and sustainability. Insufficient natural daylight inside the building leads to an increase in electrical consumption due to usage of artificial lighting. It also contributed to carbon emission, which could lead to global warming. The internal configuration has influenced the daylight distribution inside the room. Therefore, this study is intended to evaluate the impacts of several internal partition layouts on indoor daylighting performance in residential college rooms. There were three objectives to be achieved, which are; (a) to determine the illumination level in the existing case study room, (b) to analyse the Useful Daylight Illuminance in different internal partition alternatives through Climate Based Daylighting Modelling (CBDM) and compare the value of the target threshold found in the literature and (c) to recommend daylighting improvement using Climate Based Daylighting Modelling (CBDM) through simulation by suggesting a new model of room typology. |
