Professor Kroelinger notes:

In general, design professionals should try to get as much daylight as possible deep into a building while controlling the brightness of surfaces within the users’ fields of vision. Review and understand lighting requirements for critical and non-critical task areas. A building’s critical load must also be considered as human comfort and energy performance are crucial.
