The aim of this work is to investigate ways to predict the (ERC) in order to enhance natural illumination, especially in cases where a subject building is located in a highly- dense population area such as those commonly found in emerging economies and Arabian gulf. For example, interior spaces are often subjected to a specific amount of illumination from the sky component (SC) due to an inherent pre-existing sky angle which makes it necessary to capitalize on other components of daylight. The research contains numerical calculations and charts that depict the behavior of ERC under different parameters
