clerestory windows are any high windows above eye level. They are often located near the roof line of the building. They are sometimes placed on the south, the southeast, or the southwest sides of a home in the northern hemisphere. There they will let in light and heat in the winter when the sun is low and if placed under a roof overhang, they will not let in as much heat in the summer when the sun is high but will still let in light.
