Abstract

This research focused on the investigation of development and the future direction of architectural daylighting-design research area. By exploring and gathering data, the sources of academic outputs are collected from various means, such as research report, thesis, academic journal, academic paper, proceeding, and other related documents that published and distributed in Thailand during 2002-2014. Side lighting, window to wall ratio, shading device and light shelf, and daylight and artificial lighting integration design techniques are categorized and analyzed. The results of research are shown as following: 1) Various aspects, such as illumination level, daylight factor, uniformity, visual comfort, energy consumption, glare control, are combined and integrated in a research to figure out the best optimization. 2) New materials and technologies, such as hi-performance glazing, daylight sensors, and automated control switch, are taken into account. 3) Mostly, the outcomes from research are not different from basic design guidelines from the past. It is indicated that some research is processed like old design strategies in new contexts. Use of typical shading device with other building types or locations is an example. 4) Even though the amounts of research outputs are high, but some of the results do not shown in the same direction. It makes a lot of confusion and it is difficult to apply. The result of research reflects the weak point of research topic initiation, research process, and research design. Literature reviewing should be more synthesized and synchronized. Reference values, such as standard room reflectance, room dimension, light bulb types, in research experiment and simulation should be standardized. Finally, this research is not only create an architectural daylighting research database for academic field, but also broaden the perspective and provided the opportunity to generate appropriate daylighting design solutions in terms of energy efficient and innovation in architectural profession.
