Lighting is crucial for everyday task. When there is no availability of daylight, electrical artificial lighting is the replacement of daylight. Daylight is a free resource that is always available to us, therefore people should make good use of it. Human health and psychological responses, particularly in mood and productivity, gain greatly from daylight. In addition, daylighting systems are considered while designing buildings to provide optimum lighting effects while also promoting environmentally friendly construction. To lessen the demand for artificial lighting, a number of daylighting systems have been created to bring daylight into areas. For deep-plan design, the section with a lengthy floor area where the deeper space is not getting daylight from a side window has to be illuminated. Therefore, a passive prototype for a daylight transporter system like the ADS is able to gather and route daylight to a particular interior space. VELUX Daylight Visualizer is being utilised to test with the space using ADS in terms of determining the system's performance. In order to determine the fundamental knowledge of the properties of the light-pipe duct, a simple 3D model is being tested with certain configuration variables of the daylight transporter system. Finally, the performance is assessed using the daytime illumination and contrasted to create a configuration for the deep plan.
