Abstract
This paper presents the results conducted from observing shade configurations and daylighting levels
within an affordable housing bedroom unit. We conducted mainly qualitative data as the residents of the 82nd and
Orchard building declined to participate in our study. Our quantitative data considered shade configuration, collected
over a three-day period, and daylight factor using a physical model with photometric sensors. The results were
compared to actual resident shade use over the course of the day to determine if a clerestory window outperforms a
standard view glazing unit.
