dc.description.abstract Tubular Daylight Guidance technology can deliver natural light in to a space in a building where daylight is limited with an internally mirrored pipe system using the phenomena called total internal reflection. This research has been conducted to identify the potential and feasibility of applying Tubular skylights in a Sri Lankan office building. The research has focused on the existing technologies and evaluated three models of Tubular skylights designed to be used in office applications. Computer simulations have been carried out to evaluate the light out puts of different lighting arrangements made with Tubular skylights. Energy evaluations have been carried out for the cases require artificial lighting to keep constant illuminance levels. Economic evaluations have been carried out with life cycle cost calculations to evaluate the economic feasibility. en_US
