The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of fenestration design towards achievability of energy conservation and optimum daylighting in office buildings. Energy and daylighting simulation will be carried out by using climate data. Data regarding several parameters of building envelope (wall, roof, window, shading etc.) will be required to carry out the simulations. ECBC recommended values will be used to check the achievability of desired results in warm and humid climate. Analytical tools to be used to process the data are eQUEST (DOE-2.2), Microsoft Excel and Sefaira. The key results of the study focus upon the indices and values of windows and shading devices, that helps in achieving the optimum balance between daylighting and energy consumption in an office building in warm and humid climate. This study will determine the most favorable combination of window and other associated factors towards optimum balance between daylighting and energy efficiency. The future studies can be based on dynamic fenestration system design to improve the energy efficiency while allowing daylighting.
