Field surveys conducted to obtain data of (1) physical spatial configurations of architectural elements, and (2) illuminant of the residential units, which will be used for analyzing how much the natural lighting potential in the residential units at ASB. The finding is the innovations of disclosure of influence factors of the architectural physic-spatial configuration to day lighting potential in vertical residential building typology as in the ASB. It is a useful new finding to be applied in supporting the development of science and technology and procurement related to vertical housing that provide opportunities for better life quality and energy efficiency in urban areas.
