This thesis is a comparison study,
investigating the performance of the passive
daylight technology of light shelves.
Implemented in three different cities located
within three different climate zones:
Temperate, sub-tropical and tropical.
The theories and analysis of natural direct
daylight and the performance of light shelves.
Experiments were performed to evaluate the
light shelves’ performance within a case study
building.
4 different scenarios were developed to investigate how the addition of light shelves can enhance the supply of daylighting in an interior space. And if it is possible to create a design which works for all 3 different climate zones.
