The University of Washington Graphic Daylighting Design Method (GDDM) has been developed as a graphic design tool for architects in assessing both qualitative and quantitative aspects of daylighting design. Use of the method is based on a catalogue of Patterns of daylight distribution in isolux contours over a horizontal reference plane from window and skylight opening. Investigations are now being conducted into extending its use to cover clear Sky conditions and various modifiers such as external obstructions, jambs, and shading devices. Directions being pursued in extending its use to cover critical design conditions are reported.
