How do I choose a skylight?
When deciding the size of your skylight, estimate 1 square foot of skylight for every 20 feet of floor space. If the room has numerous windows, the skylight should not be more than 5 percent of the floor area and not more than 15 percent in rooms with few windows.
Should skylight face North or South?
West-facing skylights provide afternoon sunlight and heat gain. South-facing skylights provide the greatest potential for desirable winter passive solar heat gain than any other location, but often allow unwanted heat gain in the summer.
