The '''North-Facing Roof Monitor''' is an architectural feature, also known as a "clerestory window," designed to provide passive lighting to the building's interior.

Instead of a simple skylight (which would dump massive heat into the building), the roof monitor is a raised "box" on the roof.
* The '''South-facing side''' is opaque and covered with [[Solar Panel Array (Isidore)|solar panels]] to block the high, hot summer sun.
* The '''North-facing side''' is all glass.

This design floods the interior [[Biowall Filtration System (Maria)|biowall]] with bright, diffuse, indirect sunlight all day long. This provides the necessary light for photosynthesis while minimizing any associated heat gain, thereby reducing the electrical load required for supplemental LED lighting.
