Facts
The daylighting performance in the house has been specified using the daylight factor (DF) as indicator.
The daylight factor is a common and easy-touse measure for the available amount of daylight in a room. It expresses the percentage of daylight available inside, on a work plane, compared to the amount of daylight available outside the building under known overcast sky conditions. The higher the DF, the more daylight is available in the room. Rooms with an average DF of 2% or more are considered daylit. A room will appear strongly daylit when the average DF is above 5%.
The daylight factor analysis has been performed using computer simulations made by the VELUX Daylight Visualizer 2, a software tool dedicated to daylighting design and analysis. For more details and download, visit http://viz.velux.com. The figures below are showing the daylight factor levels on each floor and the impact of the installed roof windows. On the last figure the effect of the roof windows is evident. It shows that the roof windows has especially a positive effect on the daylight conditions in the centre of the room and above the stairs.

VELUX roof windows are integrated in the roof and provide pleasant daylight reaching deep into the livingroom.
Roof windows are an extra source of light in the house and are also a source of efficient airing. A roof window provides better and more pleasant light to the room (higher lux value) which reduces the need for electric light and saves energy. Roof windows let in twice as much light as facade windows. Environment
