APLIKASI SIMULASI KOMPUTER DALAM UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KUALITAS PENCAHAYAAN ALAMI BANGUNAN

Abstract: This  paper  aims  to  demonstrate  the  use  of  computer  simulation  in  improving  daylight performance  of  building  design.  Computer  simulation  programmes  RADIANCE  and ECOTECT has been used for this purpose. The computer simulation programmes allow the designers  to  evaluate  a  number  of  design  options  including  the  impact  of  different  glass transmittance,  wall  reflectance,  shading  devices  and  the  internal  partition.  The  daylight performance  of  these  design  options  could  be  evaluated  in  three  different  skies  i.e.  clear, intermediate and overcast sky as well as in three different sun positions i.e. Tropic of Cancer (22  June),  Equinox  (22  September)  and  Tropic  of  Capricorn  (22  December).  The  results show that some of the design schemes were well designed such as the use of vertical shading devices  at  North  and  South  facade.  However,  the  designed  of  internal  partition  should  be carefully  decided  as  the  current  system  prevent  the  daylight  penetrated  into  deeper  part  of the building.
