Skylight study for Santa Market in South Jakarta

Abstract

This paper presents the study of using skylight as a way of giving access to daylight in a public market. Daylighting in this type of building is mainly important in order to achieve visual comfort while also minimalizing the glare effect. The Indonesian's Ministry of Health also stated that every public market has to achieve the minimum 100 lux of luminance. The particular study is aimed to investigate the most optimum skylight strategy to create adequate daylighting inside the building. This aspect is necessary since the application of skylight will directly affect the luminance below it. The steps of study are as follows: (1) to study the optimum daylight illuminance for public market, (2) to study the skylight system applicated in Indonesia, and (3) to study the ratio of skylight openings to floor dimensions
