Field assessment of window daylighting with prismatic glazing

Daylight is an effective resource to improve the health and energy savings of indoor occupants (HesChong Mahone Group Inc. 2003). In general, there are two methods for daylight: skylight daylight and side window daylight, with the latter having much wider applications. Limited by the aperture parameter factors such as size, shape, and position, providing good daylight for large depth spaces through side-windows presents a challenge.
