Daylight performance analysis of a residential building in a tropical climate

The present study investigates the effects of visible light transmittance in glazing and window-to-wall ratios on the ground floor daylighting performance in a two-storey residential building in a warm-humid climate. The metrics used to optimize daylighting performance with minimal glare are useful...
