Skylights need to be modelled within a project, Project for their solar gains, heat-loss & ventilation effects to be modelled.

Note we typically use “Skylights” below as a generic term for all Skylight / Roof Window objects unless otherwise noted.

Skylight Library

The Skylight Library holds the complete library of all Skylight & Roof Window Specifications available for NatHERS Simulation. The Selected Skylight list within the Library is what is presented to Users within the Skylight Data-Grid’s Specification column (as well as filtering by Skylight Type).
