| Ringkasan: | Daylighting is an effective sustainable development strategy in improving the qualities for visual comfort, productivities and health. The increasing use of daylighting system can offer better savings in electricity usage, up to 20–30% of total building energy consumption. This paper reviews the current daylighting strategies incorporated to a building. The development of a highly efficient reflective and refractive materials have made the redirection of daylighting into areas of buildings far away from the façade. Light pipe system is one invention that transports daylight efficiently from outdoor into rear part of a room. Its does not only provide sufficient luminance into the room but also improve the internal environment without generating excessive heat. Light pipe system is a practical application in many buildings whether in deep plan building or link building. In conclusion, Malaysia as a country which experiences a hot tropical climate throughout the year is relevant to adopt this strategies |
