WEB BASED SIMULATION PERFORMANCE OF LIGHT PIPE DAYLIGHT TRANSPORTER AS A SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM IN AN OFFICE BUILDING

Abstract

The Internal quality environment in a room/office purely depends on the daylighting. Light pipe offers to bring sunlight through passive way to the core of the building. Reduce the use of electric lighting and utilization of light pipes can create suitable visual activity and contribute more comfort than electric light. This paper aims building light pipe design optimization on lighting level by using cloud based simulation.
