Abstract: We describe a potential use of the Lumen Method for daylighting applications in commercial buildings in a tropical climate. Calculations of the overall thermal-transfer value show that daylighting and judicious choice of the composition of the building envelope optimize lighting and minimize air-conditioning loads in buildings.
