Section 10.6.1 Daylight

Provision

(a) General Building should

be planned and designed to
maximize the use of natural
light so to reduce the use of
artificial illumination.

(b) Applicability. This

measure applies to all
building occupancies as
indicated in Table 1. For
residential condominiums, it
does not apply to individual
dwelling units.

that can allow
daylight inside

(d) Exceptions Spaces where

daylight access hinders its
intended function are
exempt from this provision
with justification for
exemption.
