NATURAL LIGHTING AND AIR VENTILATION OF THE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT: A STUDY ON DHAKA CITY (Pages : 1 - 6)

A study was conducted on the natural lighting and air ventilation of the real estate inhabitants of Dhaka City with the objectives of assessing the real estate designing status. The results show that the mean inter-building space, the buildings of Gulshan and Japan Garden city are well planned as there are enough spaces from the adjacent structures being 37 and 29 feet respectively. In the buildings of Shakari bazar and Mirpur Pallabi, the situation is worst as most of the rooms of the buildings of those areas remain dark even during midday and even the air passage or ventilation facilities are very poor, as because the spaces were only 5-13 feet. Increasing the inter-building spacing (keeping necessary setback) and making the structural design as per RAJUK rules should be of priority concerns for the purpose. A coordinated plan for Dhaka city should be taken considering the techniques for ensuring planned environmental friendly constructions. Practice of using windows, skylights or other form of fenestration to bring light into the interiors of the buildings and increasing inter-building spaces for air circulation are the most demanding and challenging issues for the construction industry of Dhaka city.Download
