Abstract :

For some time, urban policy-making has been one of the most important pillars in cities, especially the megacities of the world, which occupies a large part of studies. Throughout history, natural light has not only played a symbolic role, but also an important role in the quality of interior space, which has doubled even today with the issues of sustainability and energy. Therefore, this research is aimed at simulating and analyzing the effect of the amount of skylight on the south face of the building and its direct effect on using as much natural light as possible in the interior space, as well as its effect on the depth of light and by comparing A comparative analysis has been done to analyze the different amount of light absorbing surface and its effect on the depth of quality light and finally the output of the analysis has been presented in the form of a table and a graphic representation. In this research, the amount of light-catching surface varies from 20 to 95% and the depth of light is considered up to 7 meters, which is presented graphically as an annual percentage.
