Indoor illuminance has developed into a crucial strategy for lowering the need for lighting energy in buildings while also giving the occupants optimum indoor visual comfort. Today, indoor visual comfort is reliant on artificial means. However, in early times, design strategies were brought up to bring in light and ventilation inside the building. In times of an energy crisis, it is necessary to develop traditional measures for creating a comfortable environment at a lower price. For this, it is necessary to evaluate the solutions in vernacular architecture and adopt or modify them for modern requirements. Zone B, the hot arid zone experiences a higher rate of solar radiation, hence the opening sizes and the number of openings were kept minimum. This affects the indoor illuminance. Thus, a hot semi-arid region in India was selected to analyze indoor visual comfort. The luminous environment of the courtyard houses of Rajasthan (haveli) is studied, and the efficiency of the passive lighting strategies is analyzed using the simulation method. The haveli was documented, and the modeling and simulation were done using Autodesk Revit (student version). The findings demonstrate that passive design strategies in the haveli provide a limited amount of optimum satisfaction in achieving adequate lighting in many spaces throughout the year. The simulation findings make it quite evident how the courtyard affects how much light enters the interiors.
