This paper reports results from research investigations and simulations conducted in a Brazilian modern architecture icon: University of São Paulo's Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAUUSP). Due to its heritage-listed status, much needed retrofit and changes to the indoor configuration of workspaces have been limited. Current workspaces have seen a significant reduction of the overall amount of daylight available indoors and there is anecdotal evidence from occupants' dissatisfaction. Although prior research has documented the environmental performance of this building, little has been done in regards to capturing daylight performance and occupants' feedback. This paper contributes to t..
