Hi @math202,

To answer your question, yes this is possible. You can set up a simple energie model. If you download the latest version Of LBT tools a folder with examples is incududed. Yo can difine the skylights parametrically by using the HB skylights by ratio component.

For the optimalisation process you can also use colibri from the TTtoolbox.

Here you can find some basic explanation about how you can use it:
