A review of daylighting and visual comfort in green building rating tools / Fazidah Hanim Husain ... [et al.]

One of the main components of interior space is lighting. Daylight offers a high-quality indoor environment that provides the required illumination for visual comfort. Well-designed architecture allows natural light to be transmitted, provides view, reduces heat, and eliminates glare in order to pro...

The study provides an overview on daylighting-related measures in the certification of the commonly used rating tools worldwide such as LEED, BREEAM, CASBEE, SB TOOL, GREENMARK, NZ GREEN STAR, and GBI specifically in office buildings which were comparatively assessed and analysed. This comparison allows researcher to identify the score reading of the daylight performance and visual comfort that fall under the category of Energy and IEQ to highlight the weightage and importance of daylight and visual comfort from the perspective of green building. The analysis shows that the score readings between the rating tools on both categories vary and are not homogeneous, but are based according to the locality, climate, and the region. 2021 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/73779/1/73779.pdf A review of daylighting and visual comfort in green building rating tools / Fazidah Hanim Husain ...
