Professor Aschehoug shows in the model experiments that window glazing in very narrow and deep atria, reflects daylight downwards in the same way as mirrors due to the glancing angle of glass incidence. Large windows in the upper floors therefore contribute more to daylight levels at the lower floors than normal average glass reflectants would indicate.
