Abstract
Since earlier research shows that vegetative offers several advantages of airflow and microclimatic condition, the use of this unique aperture to reduce indoor illumination and probable glare is studied using Radiance. Such modeled vegetative shadings simulated in this study shifts down indoor illumination into standard for simple domestic buildings, i.e. below 1000 Lux. Without shading installed before openings, indoor illumination is approximately 1176 Lux. The simulation indicates two important physical factors of vegetative shading, i.e. porosity and frame shape, whilst factor of leaf reflectance is insignificant.
