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.
