Daylight saving

It is good to see that like 70 countries of the world, Bangladesh has also decided to advance the clock by one hour to save the day light in an effort to minimize the prevailing power crisis. It is definitely a historic decision. The countries which have adopted the DST (daylight saving) system could manage to save on power consumption and we also believe that our country will do the same.
But what are the architectural or interior designs of the offices and buildings of those countries? In our country some modern interior designers introduced such new design that does not allow sunlight to come in because they believe this might hamper the so called smart looks made with various colours and for this they conceal all the windows. On an average the numbers of light bulbs are used in a single chamber of any office are more than what is used in a 3-bedrooms house. For the sake of the “LOOK” people have no choice but to do office with all the lights turned on. This is not the end; in the name of corporate style or culture some modern business houses encourage to do wearing a suit and a tie in extreme summer with air conditioners turned on all the time.
On the other hand, most of the time while building our houses we do not follow the approved plan and make houses so close to another house in the name of beauty. We use tinted glass that sometimes makes it very difficult for the sunlight to come in.
So besides giving a big thank to Government of Bangladesh for taking a step towards saving power, would also like to request to introduce a clear guideline for interior designs for the offices. Otherwise, no matter how many hours we advance our clock, sunlight will be staying away from us and will not be of any use.
