Abstract
Due to the technological development, the conventional classroom cannot fully support the use of
new teaching media, especially in terms of quality and quantity of light. This research aims to propose
lighting design guidelines for multimedia classroom through experimental study in real classroom and
lighting simulation by using DIALux program. The research found that the blind could be adjusted from 30 –
60 degree to achieve visual comfort and benefit of daylight. Installing shading device and light shelf related
to the sun position can reflect daylight deeply and stably. The appropriate artificial lighting plan and control
increase lighting efficiency and reduce energy consumption. For better vision, brightness ratio between side
area and screen should be 1: 5 and the reflectance property of the side area should not exceed 40%. The
results of this research can be used for lighting design in multimedia classroom to create suitable learning
environment.
