DAY LIGHTING FACTOR ANALYSIS
Ei = illuminance due to daylight at a point on the indoor working plane
Eo = The unobstructed horizontal exterior illuminance, average day light level in Malaysia
4. (EH) is assumed to be 32000 lux
A standard sky is assumed to give a minimum level of illuminance on the ground.
According to MS1525, Day Light Factor distribution as below :
Zone DF (%) Distribution
Very bright > 6 Very large with thermal and glare problems
Bright 3-6 Good
Average 1-3 Fair
Dark 0-1 Poor
Daylight factors and distribution
Nature IlluminationTable
Illuminance (lux) Example
120,000 Brightest sunlight
110,000 Bright sunlight
20,000 Shade illuminated by entire clear blue sky
1000-2000 Typical overcast day, midday
400 Sunrise or sunset on clear day
100 Very dark overcast day
40 Fully overcast, sunset/sunrise
< 1 Extreme of darkest storm clouds, sunset/sunrise
X-SPACE (Gallery Reading Area + Computer)
5. X-Spacein second floorplan
The X-Space area is located at second floor near the glaze façade thus exposing the area to full
coverage of sunlight during the daytime.

Γ 100% = 1770 lux
The X-Space has a daylight factor of 8.85% and 1770 luxof naturalillumination.
Based on the requirements of MS1525, itis creating heat and glare probleminto
the X-Spacewhich it needs a shading device or double skin façade in order to
overcomethe problem.
I proposeto use Steel Framing façadeto help reduce heat gain and glare
into the spacewhile still allowing light going into the space. The materials to
because is perforated anodized steel frameand reflective anodized aluminum
strip.
LIBRARY (Study Area + Book Storage)
7. Study Area in first floorplan
The Study area is located at first floor. This area located at the back lane and facing half of the
wall together with window at the right side thus exposing the area to half coverage of sunlight
during the daytime.

The Study area has a daylight factor of 3.79% and 758 luxof natural illumination.
Based on the requirements of MS1525, itis considering bright for the study area
but not too much which it doesnβtneeds a shading device in order to overcome
the problem.
I proposeto use DoubleSkin façade with glass to maintain the brightness of
the spaceand with a few numbers of artificial light fromcovered spacewith wall.
The materials to be use is glass and aluminum frame.
