In this study, eleven homes in Ahmedabad (hot and dry) climate were monitored for a week (data logged at 15-minute intervals, October 2022- March 2023) for daylight levels received in the living room, use of electric lighting and activities that have been carried out by occupants. The findings of this study will help designers to understand the gap between the ground truth of the maintained daylight levels and the potential daylight levels inside the living room. And also reveals the extent of trade-offs that occupants have to make for their daylight access and the occupant comfort in their living rooms.
