solar radiation, which is then reradiated, conducted or convected into the space.

13.1.4 Ensure that the total daylighted area (as defined in the Appendix A of ECBC-2007) of
the proposed building is > 25% of the total living area (areas listed in Handbook on
Functional Requirements of Buildings [other than industrial buildings] 1987 (SP41) part
4, table 2); and achieve the recommended DF (as prescribed in Handbook on Functional
Requirements of Buildings [other than industrial buildings] 1987 (SP41) part 4, table 2)
at the centre of the daylighted area or the average on the daylighted area in a design sky
condition (as recommended in part 8 of National Building Code 2005).
# Every 25% increase in the total daylighted area upon the total living area—up to a
maximum of 75%—shall fetch one additional point. This is, however, non mandatory.
Note The daylight clause is not mandatory for all other living spaces that are not listed in table 2 (SP41). Projects are, however,
encouraged to apply daylight integration even if not mandated. Similar points shall be awarded for respective daylighted area as
mentioned above, and DF can be decided based on project-specific daylight requirements.
