Sky Light

The amount of light inefficient transparent glazing skylights deliver peaks around midday, when the additional light and heat it provides is least needed. Some skylight designs use domed or pyramidal shapes along with prismatic or other light-redirecting glazings to attempt to validate 'daylighting expert' value. Like automated controls, attempts to achieve more value through expensive additional systems rarely, if ever, validate 'daylighting expert' worth.
