Abstract
High rise office building design is one of the essential buildings in construction industry due to the limited space especially in the urban area. After home, a high rise office building is an important space for human in modern era. Due to the issue of high energy consumption especially inefficient artificial light strategy, side-day lighting becomes the best solution for a high rise office building design. Despite providing efficient energy consumption, side-day lighting creates a positive impact to the worker as well as the office's indoor environment. Hence, this paper aims to explore the basic passive side-day lighting considerations that educate people especially for those who are involved in the building construction industry. Beside, this paper focuses on the passive design considerations due to the various advantages that not involved especially with complex electrical and mechanical system. A systematic literature review is the main methodology for this paper to identify the basic passive side-day lighting considerations for a high rise office building design. Base on this research, it revealed that eight elements for building design considerations should be applied to provide a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design. Considerations for non-building design aspects should also need to be applied since those aspects contribute to produce a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design.
Highlights
Due to the current rapid development, high rise building design become the most effective building type in providing an efficient built up area within the limited site
Effective windows design especially on the position, orientation, shape and size should be considered in the early stage of design process. It is essential for designers where they need to create an efficient percentage of glaze area which can suit to the overall surface of high rise office building facade design
Several of glazing can be applied to the windows that can produce a different daylight impact and it should be collaborate with the other passive side-day lighting design considerations
Summary
Due to the current rapid development, high rise building design become the most effective building type in providing an efficient built up area within the limited site. To provide an effective high rise building design, deep understanding should be possess especially by the group of consultants who are responsible since at the early stage of design idea It is a big challenge especially for the architect who lead the project which assisted by the other consultants in producing the building design to suit with the client's need. Day light as the primary energy source play a vital role that compliment the current and future needs for building design, human and environment [27] It shows that, day light contributes to produce green building developments, enhance the energy consumption and visual comfort [41]. Previous study had revealed that, an integration design strategy between daylight and electrical light is the efficient way to create a better energy performance for an office building design [13]. It was revealed by a survey where 79% participants agreed to use computer simulation [57] that helps them to produce a quality of building design
