The Brazilian program Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) increased the construction of social housing in Brazil. One of the quality assessment requirements of these buildings is natural light. Besides contributing to the energy efficiency of buildings, daylight influences users’ comfort and health. This research aimed to evaluate the annual daylight in housing units (UH) on the Jardim Ipês Housing Complex, part of the MCMV Program. The method is based on Post-Occupancy Assessment, focusing on users’ opinions regarding daylight conditions in their homes and the RTQ-R, NBR 15575 and annual daylight metrics through computer simulations with the APOLUX software. It was found that most respondents classified daylighting as bright and that activities carried out in the UH require higher levels of illuminance than the minimum recommended by RTQ-R and NBR 15575. The simulations demonstrated that the UH meet the parameters indicated in the RTQ-R simulation method and the minimum illuminances present in NBR 15575. However, they did not meet the criteria of illuminance levels below 2.000 lux, the maximum limit to avoid glare. As the main conclusion, it is proposed, for the standards and regulations, requirements related to the maximum illuminance level in residential environments and specific illuminance levels for activities commonly carried out in dwellings in the studied context.
