The room daylit by one window in an atrium situation

Adding equally sized obstruction blocks sidewise as shown in Figure 8, a typical atrium situation occurs. The factors stay unchanged. As Figure 9 indicates, the daylight amount is now reduced in average by 45%. An additional atrium roof glazing would leave an average 22% of daylight as compared to the base case (assuming an effective roof transmission of 40%). The horizontal obstruction size now shows a positive effect since the daylight open­ing increases with a.
