I know the make and model of my windows, the placement on the wall, and the size of the auditorium. Does anyknow know of a formula that I cna use to determine how many windows I'm going to need to light the space correctly? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks very much!

My suggestion would be to model the auditorium, either physically or using some environmental software. It sounds like they just want enough light to easily see where they are going!
