Review synthesizes findings on daylighting design, improving building energy efficiency and occupant comfort across climates.
Key Points
The aim is to analyze how daylighting strategies can enhance building performance while addressing energy demands and occupant comfort in India’s diverse climates.
Synthesis of 31 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025.
Analysis of daylight performance using climate-based simulations and optimization approaches.
Assessment of design patterns across various climatic zones and building typologies.
Moderate window-to-wall ratios of 16-20% achieved balanced daylight autonomy and glare control.
Optimized height-to-width ratios enhanced spatial daylight autonomy by up to 93%.
Dynamic shading systems provided approximately 26% lighting energy savings compared to isolated studies.
