Abstract
The increasing of world population demand better and bigger size of building to occupy. Different kind of technology introduce and employ to lessen energy consumption in building especially on artifial lighting aspect while the sun have been the prime source of lighting on earth from the beginning. Solar shading and glare control are common issue in dealing with daylighting. It is part of design consideration not to be overlooked. A good design of daylighting will consequently resulted in energy savings and good performance of the building occupant. Education building are another type of building that received the attention of ergonomists and where the contribution of daylighting could be verifiably demonstrated. Architects and lighting ergonomists have taken a keen interest in the learning environment, particularly in the way students are affected by the natural and electric lighting conditions under which they study. The architecture of school buildings can shape the effectiveness way of teaching and learning. In other words daylighting plays significant role on our health and perfomance in our daily routine. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a commonly known effect of inadequate light received by our body.” It can be decribed as an emotional disorder characterized by drastic mood swings,lowered energy, and depression” (Mohamed Boubekri, 2008). Hence, daylighting is a factor that must be incorporated to educational building design to ensure the performance in lecturers and students.
