Abstract
The article describes the contemporary issues of natural lighting of interiors of civil and industrial buildings. The major attention is given to the roof lighting system of the buildings in question, as far as this system provides not only increased levels of natural lighting, but sometimes an undesirable heat gains, due to prolonged insolation period and hence, extra solar radiation. It is noted, that this reason leads to design and construct the means of natural lighting in such a way, that to provide interiors with sufficient natural illumination and efficient sun protection at the same time. Some principal conclusions and recommendations were made as a result of analytic studies, presented in the article. For example, it was competently proved that the best solar standing solution for roof lighting installations are sheds, or sawtooth roof structure. The worst solution, to protect interiors from solar overheating are roof skylights. These skylights require extra sun protection in form of jalousies, blinds, etc. The same additional solar shading, though to less extend, is needed to provide additional sun protection for roof monitors.
