Popis: The influence of the coating layers on the performance of construction systems is an essential parameter to assess the use of materials and elements of the systems, in order to make the project feasible, not only economically, but also technically. Through numerical simulations based on a defined reference model for the study, the present work study the influence of different layers of floor, roof and, internal and external wall systems, on the natural lighting performance. Finally, analysing the results, for the reference model used, identified the materials and elements with the greatest influence on lighting performance—the internal finishes of the environment and the type of glass used in the external walls.
