Abstract
The issue of energy-saving buildings and energy efficiency is not really new
and are closely associated with natural lighting factors especially in housing in
Indonesia. To save electrical energy consumption of the lighting, the use of lighting
by sunlight is constantly being developed for housing, such as in dense residential
areas like in Depok. Architects play a very important role to help reduce the use of
energy derived from fossil energy into a green design approach by optimizing
natural lighting from the sun. Therefore, the directions of light along with the effects
of reflection or refraction also need to be arranged accordingly to create the visual
comfort of the space. The method used was by experiential and data collection on
samples of two housing models facing north and south which are commonly found
in dense residential area in 1 akarta strongly supported by literature studies and
modelling by Ecotect simulation
