daylit
Illuminated by sun
Daylit describes something illuminated by natural sunlight rather than artificial light: a daylit classroom, the daylit hours of early morning.
The word appears most often in architectural and design contexts, where maximizing daylit spaces reduces energy costs.
Also spelled day-lit.
