Occupants Interaction with Window Blinds in A Green-Certified Office Building in Putrajaya, Malaysia

Abstract: One of the key features of green office buildings is the proper utilization of daylight in order to ensure a good visual indoor environment which can potentially increase the occupant's productivity. However, poor daylight condition inside office buildings can occur due to improper positioning of window blinds by the occupants. Previous studies have shown that fully lowered window blinds and the use of the artificial lightings during daytime have caused many office buildings in Malaysia to have high rates of e… Show more

They found that, even though the automatic light control was installed in the office, the occupant preferred to keep the blinds closed to prevent the automatic control system from switching off lights when there was adequate daylight.…”
