Effect of Natural Light Glare on Passive Design in Malaysian Government Office Building

Starting in 2009 the government of Malaysia has stipulated that all government offices building to be incorporated with sustainable design features. However, the questions on the design still ponders and requires a research especially in the adoption of passive design strategies whether they have met the occupant visual comfort and taken all the consideration on the penetration of daylight. Qualitative survey has been conducted on the occupant's perception toward visual comfort in selected working space and by using DAYSIM simulation to obtain an explicit comparison on the effect of glare inside the room to verify the survey analysis done earlier. Finding from the survey showed that 61.2% of the respondents agreed that there is glare from the windows of the office and 52.2% respondent agreed that internal shading reduced the discomfort glare from the windows. The research will be useful as basic recommendation on the indoor comfort environment especially for the occupant visual comfort in designing a government office building.
