Daylight to Existing Buildings
The Vertical Sky Component (VSC) definition from the BRE Guide (3rd Edition) is described below:
“This is a measure of the amount of light reaching a window. It is the ratio of that part of illuminance,
at a point on a given vertical plane, that is received directly from a CIE standard overcast sky, to
illuminance on a horizontal plane due to an obstructed hemisphere of this sky. Usually the ‘given
vertical plane’ is the outside of a window wall. The VSC does not include reflected light, either from the
ground or from other buildings.”
The maximum possible VSC value for an opening in a vertical wall, assuming no obstructions, is 40%. This
VSC at any given point can be tested in RadianceIES, a module of IES VE.
For typical residential schemes the BRE Guide (3nd Edition) states the following in Section 2.2.7:
“If this VSC is greater than 27% then enough skylight should still be reaching the window of the existing
building. Any reduction below this level should be kept to a minimum. If the VSC, with the new
development in place, is both less that 27% and less than 0.8 times its former value, occupants of the
existing building will notice the reduction in the amount of skylight. The area lit by the window is likely
to appear more gloomy, and electric lighting will be needed more of the time.”

The points tested have a VSC value
less than 0.8 times the existing
scheme VSC value and are less than
15%.
✓
The points tested have a VSC value
greater than 27%, or their VSC value
is greater than 0.8 times their
former value, with the proposed
development in place. Therefore,
these points exceed BRE
recommendations.
Sunlight to Existing Buildings
The BRE Guide (3rd Edition) states that interiors where the occupants expect sunlight should receive at least one
quarter (25%) of annual probable sunlight hours, including at least 5% of annual probable sunlight hours during the
winter months, between 21st September and 21st March.
“If a living room of an existing dwelling has a main window facing within 90°of due south, and any part of a new
development subtends an angle of more than 25°to the horizontal measured from the centre of the window in a
vertical section perpendicular to the window, then the sunlight of the existing dwelling may be adversely affected.
This will be the case if the centre of the window:
-Receives less than 25% of annual probable sunlight hours and less than 0.80 times its former annual value: or les
than 5% of annual probable sunlight hours between 21 September and 21 March and less than 0.80 times its
former value during that period:
-And also has a reduction in sunlight received over the whole year greater than 4% of annual probable sunlight
hours.”
If a window reference point can receive more than 25% of annual probable sunlight hours, including at least 5% of
annual probable sunlight hours during the winter months between 21st September and 21st March, then the room
should still receive enough sunlight. Any reduction in sunlight access below this level should be kept to a minimum.
If the available sunlight hours are both less than the amount given and less than 0.8 times their former value, either
over the whole year or just during the winter months (21st September to 21st March) and reduction in sunlight across
the year has a greater reduction than 4%, then the occupants of the existing building will notice the loss of sunlight.
