Trees Room Sun Study

So, the windows described earlier look pretty good in the model. (I haven't worried about any clerestories yet.)
Morning sun in winter--January 5, 8:30am. This is without any windows facing east.
Winter afternoon--January 5, 3:30pm. The low sun blasts in from the southwest.
Summer. August 5, 9am. The full trees and the high angle mean the south-facing windows don't see much direct sun. Of course, we're not even modeling the deciduous trees in the forest, shown here in empty white.
