The article discusses the problems of daylighting environment in multi storey industrial buildings. According the former scientific studies, these problems are being considered in relation to the socalled “lighting wells”. These design elements improve the quality of the indoor environment, mainly by establishing better contact between workers and the environment. The structural upgrading of original type of lighting wells is suggested. The tops of the lighting wells, which are the light supplying elements in the skylights form, are transformed to a “mining skylights”. The lower portions of the lighting wells, adjacent to floors, should be furnished with light-reflective elements. Due to this structural enclosing elements, which is additionally reflecting daylight flows to interiors, the daylight factor values increased. But such a design solution requires an additional study to prove a theoretic offering presented.
