Abstract

Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) point 11.b inquires the increment of cities and settlements that able to utilize resources efficiently and able to adapt with its environment. To achieve this goal, every part of the city has to be designed well enough to meet these standards while also being able to maintain it perpetually. Market as an important part of a society where people buy and sell their daily necessities, thus have to meet this goal/target. However, due to the declining condition of the building, poor management, and the existing negative stigma toward traditional market, these traditional markets are started to become neglected and hazardous to the users and in need of urgent repairs. Therefore, the market’s building designs require much needed improvements to the current traditional market’s conditions to reach its building requirements and user’s comfort. In addition, to create a sustainable environment, natural elements are also utilized to reduce building’s energy usage in particular by utilizing natural lighting / sunlight and natural ventilation. This paper presents simulation data of sunlight entering the building focusing on louvers usage within the building’s element in order to maximize the sunlight usage, not including the usage of skylight.
