Hi Franz,<div><br></div><div>The trouble is that you have a plenum, which is essentially another zone above your conditioned spaces. The skylights shine light into the plenum, not all the way down into your zones. This is usually an artifact of the wizard and setting the floor to floor height different from the floor to ceiling height. Do you really need a plenum in order to model your building properly?</div>
