In narrow atria, light wells, streets etc. the daylight reaching rooms at the lower floors of the surrounding buildings is light reflected off the opposite facade. This makes the facade design and the main geometry the most important parameters that govern daylight levels. These parameters have been systematically varied through the practical ranges in a large number of physical model tests performed in an artificial sky of the mirror-box type. The results are given as generalized daylight factor bands for rooms at top and bottom floors of buildings facing a glazed street. The paper was presented at the Nordic Building Physics Symposium in Lund, Aug. 24-26, 1987.
