[Cob] skylights

[vesperlight at gmail.com]

I think two skylights would also give option of opening only one or both  
for ventilation and cooling, along with one or more doors or windows -- it  
would give you more control over the way air currents move through the  
space. Some times you get a much better draft, with more cooling effect, if  
you have only two openings ventilating a building, instead of having  
everything wide open.

consider the energy efficiency (EE) of a skylight. If there are EE  
considerations such as insulated "drapes" I would choose what ever number  
is easiest and fastest. Thinking out load, since a thermal drape would need  
to be fully closed to be thermally effective (?), with an perimeter air  
seal, 2 lites would give the option of closing one and leaving the other  
one open.
