Abstract
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.
