Abstract
Daylighting is a significant factor in the design consideration of a building because of its many benefits and advantages. It increases productivity in office workplaces and enhances the wellness of the users of the space. It can also improve users’ thermal and visual comfort. Convention centres are large commercial buildings that utilize large amounts of energy to provide a lot of lighting which can affect indoor comfort. Implementing daylighting in this building typology can help reduce energy cost, load, and demand, and improve the thermal and visual comfort of users. This study examined the daylighting strategies that can be utilized in the design of a convention centre to improve users’ thermal and visual comfort. The study created new opportunities for improving the design of convention centres and other built environment and is useful to architects and other relevant professionals. Questionnaires were used to gather data from the users of the selected buildings, and case studies were carried out to gather information on the entirety of convention centres in Lagos State, Nigeria, and other countries. The data gotten was analyzed descriptively using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. It was discovered that in many convention centres, daylighting was not appropriately considered, and many respondents lack knowledge of daylighting elements due to their lack of common use. The available elements were found to have mostly negative effects on thermal and visual comfort. Implementing daylighting more frequently can help increase adequate use and knowledge on daylighting, as well as improve users’ comfort.
