Design and Development of Natural Lighting System in Modern Malaysian Building

The advantages of natural light in construction include connecting to the outside world, giving rooms a bigger appearance, and allowing a sense of time and knowing the weather. Additionally, it reduces the energy consumption associated with artificial lighting. The sun, moon, stars, and thermal heat are all sources of natural light. Energy-saving measures and design elements are integrated into natural lighting in buildings. By developing systems, natural lighting has been improved in efficiency. Solar energy can be directly used, and artificial lighting can be reduced. Vision can be enhanced by creating an unobstructed environment but can also be impaired by it. This study aims to define visual comfort in built environments by using natural light and energy-saving methods. Higher latitudes experience warmer temperatures due to the spreading of solar radiation over a larger surface area, while lower latitudes experience cooler temperatures. Creating daylight requires four stages: a consideration of neighborhood conditions, a consideration of the depth and geometry of the space, a consideration of specific spaces, and a consideration of the middle layers without direct access to daylight. In Malaysia, one of the top countries for absorbing solar energy, architects should utilize cutting-edge science and technology to improve the quality of their projects.
