Solar Study|Revit   

Here’s a perspective within a wire frame of a room I modeled to study the daylighting in. The graph represents lux (lumens/m2) for 1:00 pm on December 21st. Winter sun from the clerestory windows shines all the way back to the north wall. The house is a square in plan so the clerestory is a strategy for bringing in light through the winter months to ensure the kitchen and entry are adequately day lit. Gotta love that winter sun.
