Daylighting design with lightscoop skylights: towards an optimization of proportion and spacing under overcast sky conditions

The main aim of this article is to determine suitable proportions for lightscoop skylights, whose main characteristic is a vertical opening oriented in the opposite direction to the solar trajectory, with a view to ensuring maximum illuminance on the area under study within a room. Lightscape 3.2 so...
