Optimum daylighting of interior spaces is most effectively achieved by pure archi­tectural (or: structural) measures of which the most basic ones are the dimension­ing and positioning of daylight openings in the building envelope as well as geome^ try and surface characteristics of the considered space. Multidimensional regres­sion analyses with such parameters performed for a number of simple geometric cases show both their qualitative and their quantitative influence [Sic03]. The re­sults are presented graphically and in a programmed form using a simple software tool.
