Application of solar energy in Malaysian buildings: daylight performance of light pipes / Mulyadi Sibi
Daylighting is another significant renewable energy potential in Malaysia, being endowed with more than 10 hour of sunshine daily all year round. Its high level of global solar radiation ranging from 12 MJ/m2 /day to as high as 21 MJ/m2 /day had encouraged daylighting system applications and technol...
