Frosted glass (skylight)

Daylighting

Rotating 90° to East

Rotating the building 90 °

To enhances the amount of natural daylight receive into the interior of the building.

Before optimise

Average lux for the interior of the building from west and south is approximately 95lux to 110lux

After optimised

Average lux for the interior of the building from east and south increases to 120.6lux from south and 155.2lux from the east

Introducing lightwell into office space

Allowing light diffusion into lower floor level from the level above. Which improves lighting efficiencies

3.3 Façade Type

Vertical and Horizontal Aluminum Louvre

Materials

Aluminum has a protective oxide coating that protects it from corrosion naturally. This is a great advantage to any building

Double Façade(sun shading device)

The installation of vertical and horizontal louvre façade creates a second skin from the exterior of the building Which prevents the building from direct sunlight and solar radiation into the interior of the building

The façade controls the amount and quality of daylight entering the working space. Impacting visual comfort towards the building design

Type of facade

Before

Working space does not have an ideal lux reading with only 63.2 lux average

After

Average lux reading has increased significantly with an average of 117.7 lux to 180.6 lux reading after implementing lightwell into the building

Ground Floor & Mezzanine Floor 1st Floor to 4th Floor

Vertical Aluminum

Louvres – sun shading façade which allows up to 40% of diffused light to enter into the interior. Façade can be maneuver from 45° to 135° depending on the weather condition.

Horizontal aluminum louvres – sun shading façade with a WWR of ½ which allows diffused day light to enter into interior while allowing view towards outdoor
