After home, a high rise office building is an important space for human in modern era. Due to the issue of high energy consumption especially inefficient artificial light strategy, side-day lighting becomes the best solution for a high rise office building design. Despite providing efficient energy consumption, side-day lighting creates a positive impact to the worker as well as the office's indoor environment. Hence, this paper aims to explore the basic passive side-day lighting considerations that educate people especially for those who are involved in the building construction industry. Beside, this paper focuses on the passive design considerations due to the various advantages that not involved especially with complex electrical and mechanical system. A systematic literature review is the main methodology for this paper to identify the basic passive side-day lighting considerations for a high rise office building design. Base on this research, it revealed that eight elements for building design considerations should be applied to provide a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design. Considerations for non-building design aspects should also need to be applied since those aspects contribute to produce a better day lighting impact for a high rise office building design. Keywords : Passive side-day lighting, consideration, high rise office building. I. INTRODUCTION Due to the current rapid development, high rise building design become the most effective building type in providing an efficient built up area within the limited site. Most of the urban city with limited site area applied this strategy to cope with the site surrounding as well as the high demand among users. It can be considered as an effective strategy especially to develop within a limited space area and being implemented Revised Manuscript Received on May 15, 2020. * Correspondence Author M. H. M.

It consists of residential, office building and combination between both of the building design typology. Hence, high rise building is one of the complicated building design compare to the other buildings in term of design, building program, structures, materials, space layout, mechanical system, electrical system and other design requirements. Definitely, a high rise building give a big challenge for the local building professions especially architects, building engineers and energy planners to face various issues especially on buildings, energy and environment [38]. As we know, each of the building design contains its own character which responds to the site surrounding. In the other hand, every single building has its own program and spaces where good information especially on the site context should be considered. Definitely, to provide an effective high rise building design, deep understanding should be possess especially by the group of consultants who are responsible since at the early stage of design idea. It is a big challenge especially for the architect who lead the project which assisted by the other consultants in producing the building design to suit with the client's need. Climatic condition is another one of the vital factors that influence most on the high rise building design. By implement the site analysis, architects received actual information regarding on the site condition that will affect the building design. Currently, office building become equally important as the residential buildings where people need a comfortable working space due to the challenging of working process. According to Kohn & Katz [36], most of us think that home is the most important building while currently office building design is identify as one of the essential building design. Several of office building design emerged that in line with the current modern lifestyle as well as the working processes. Unfortunately, we need an efficient office building design due to the issue on the electrical lighting that increases the energy consumption [13]. Almost 35% are consume for electrical lighting by the office building in Hong Kong [38] where it contributes as the most impact to the non-residential buildings [40]. Moreover, 30% of the total energy consumption of the building contributes by electrical lighting in office buildings [66] as well as the major contributors to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and global warming [3]. Human started to apply the artificial light as the main source since in 1930s due to the low electrical price and lighting equipment that affected the modern building design [48]. In addition, artificial lights become the major light source compare to the daylight that suit to the human’s lighting demand for the office building after 1940’s [16].
