Abstract

Problem statement: To study the quality and quan-tity of daylight in residence in Pune with respect to the space configuration. The objectives are-To study change in quality, quantity and distribution of daylight. To study the role of openings design in day lighting. The methodology is ex-perimentation by using various tools to measure illumination in different rooms, on a particular day. The expected results would be the change in quantity and quality of day lighting by change in orientation. This study will conclude on various factors that affect the daylight and eventually enhance the indoor environmental quality, eventually minimizing the energy usage for lighting.
