The level of illumination in a room is very important to support the activities that are being carried out in the room. The width of the openings and the side lighting design strategy are things that need to be analyzed to maximize the natural lighting that enters the room without dazzling the eyes, especially in the classroom. This study aims to determine the width of the opening and the side lighting design strategy of an elementary school in Jakarta that can maximize natural lighting without dazzling the eyes based on the level of illumination so that visual comfort standards can be achieved. The method used is to build a building using FormIt software to determine which side of the building gets sun exposure and makes several simulations of the area of openings and several simulations of side lighting design strategies using the Velux Daylight Visualizer 3 software to determine the level of lighting in the room according to the standard lux requirements for educational institutions. From the research results, it can be seen that the width of the opening and the side lighting design strategy of a room affects the level of natural lighting obtained.
