Abstract
Currently, we usually do our activities inside of the buildings, so we don't often get enough of the direct sunlight, which could cause health problems. There was a recent move to solve this issue by adding a courtyard to new constructions. This research's goals are to determine how much of rays of the sun get into the building, if the natural lighting could be used as a light for the interior. With these, we may see the outcomes of mental revitalization for the people and reduces the consumption of the energy. Also, we try to analyze the temperature and the humidity of the inside, depends on the shape of the courthouse.
