This study propose a design procedure for daylighting based on the use of a set of daylight factor curves produced for typical perimeter zones in Electrical Engineering Building (EE) in National Kaohsiung Institute of Technology with its windows. The cases considered include perimeter zones with different window/wall ratio in case study rooms derived from proposed radiation records of three years in Kaohsiung (1991 , 1992, 1993). The procedure is also applied to a case study building. Physical measurement were performed and the results were analyzed and presented. Statisdtical frequency distribution of exterior horizontal illumination were derived using efficacy factor and this values are used for calculation of daylight factor curve and contours. Based on this available illumination, required supplementary artificial lighting were calculated to satisfy a given lighting requirements. The significant use of energy consumption in temperate climate are heat transfer through window and wall into a room. For a typical room, material details of the case study building were used in computer program (in turbo-basic using finite difference method) to compute heat transfer value. Data of typical day (i.e. global and diffuse radiation and temperature) for summer and winter were used in computer program to calculate effective solar radiation. An output data (i.e. effective solar radiation) were used to calculate heat transfer through window. Based on the heat transfer values of window and wall, daylighting vs energy use for typical summer and winter day were calculated.
