This daylighting model was created to determine the feasibility of daylighting below-grade laboratories with skylights. The computer model was rendered in Lightscape.
     
  Top-light is actually a very efficient way to daylight a space. The concern here was that the high light levels required by the lab might not be achievable with just daylight through diffusing glass. The image to the left was rendered with an overcast sky and shows that two long skylights with splayed wells will perform very well.
