Light
reflectors and shelves:-
´Light shelves
are an effective way to enhance the lighting from windows on the equator-facing
side of a structure, this effect being obtained by placing a white or
reflective metal light shelf outside the windows.
´Usually the
window will be protected from direct summer season sun by a projecting eave
´The light
shelf projects beyond the shadow created by the eave and reflects sunlight
upward to illuminate the ceiling.
´This reflected
light can contain little heat content and the reflective illumination from the
ceiling will typically reduce deep shadows, reducing the need for general illumination.
