Abstract:
The present subject matter comprises a simple, passive skylight dome with relatively tall partially vertical sides comprising partially transparent material which diffuses the transmitted light, and a mostly opaque sun shade near the top of the relatively tall partially vertical sides. The partially vertical sides are able to better intercept sunlight from low sun elevation angles than conventional horizontal skylights. The mostly opaque sun shade is able to block sunlight from high sun elevation angles to prevent such sunlight from entering the building below the dome. By enhancing the collection of low-sun-elevation-angle light, the subject matter improves the daylight performance of the skylight early and late in the day, and all day in the winter months. By reducing the collection of high-sun-elevation-angle light, the subject matter reduces the solar heat gain near solar noon in the summer months, thereby reducing air conditioning loads and related costs.

Claim (Index 1):
A passive skylight comprising:\n a plurality of light diffusing sloped sides each having an average thickness, each side of the plurality having a roof edge and a top edge, wherein the roof edges collectively, when installed, circumscribe a roof opening having a first area in a horizontal plane and wherein the top edges define a top perimeter; and a top portion residing within the top perimeter, the top portion form from a same material as the sloped sides and having an average thickness greater than the average thickness of any of the sloped sides.
