Skylight ovwe atrium

Hello

I am doing a detailed cooling load calculation analysis for a building. I have a skylight over a large atrium of 8 levels that has open office spaces and large void between floors.
I know that the radiant heat from the skylight covers all floors down to ground floor and the atrium is too large to be zoned as one zone.
Now my question is
How to count for the skylight cooling load? is it covered by the most upper level? or each level takes a percentage orf the load? if so by how much?

any help will be greatly appreciated
