Daylighting is one of the important environmental factors that its proper design not only can drastically reduce energy consumption, but also creates healthier learning environments that may result in increased attendance and improved grades. Both the quantity and the quality of daylight in building are important parameters that designer must consider. The aim of this research is to develop an extended daylighting evaluation in educational spaces of the school buildings in hot and arid region of Iran. In this paper a survey of observation, geometric determination of devices and the results of measurements of daylight levels in classrooms in "Kashan" that are coordinated by "Iran school Organization of renovation and development" typical form, are mentioned. All the research analyses have been done based on the classrooms models comparison through the computational simulations. Finally the problems were determined and comparison of results was discussed.
