In a seminar by GBI yesterday held in Kuala Lumpur, one of the speakers, Ir Au CHong Hun, of Primetech Engineering presented a theoretical exploration of the impact of daylight on Overall Thermal Treansfer Value (OTTV) and Building Energy Intensity (BEI). He demonstrated quantitatively that the benefit of energy saving from daylight introduction will offset the loss due to extra heat gain it caused. This savings come first from reduced lighting demand, secondly from reduced internal gain by having less artificial light switched on.
Further benefits is in terms of occupants productivity, studies shown the positive impact of daylight on workers productivity.
