SHORT DESCRIPTION: The architects wanted to find out what was the optimum size for the skylight, so that appropriate daylight could be achieved and at the same time overheating problems could be avoided. Different scenarios with different opening sizes and different shading systems were simulated, while the daylight for each one was tested and the best combination was applied.
