Determines the method used to extend the daylighted area horizontally next to a window. If the method is ‘fixed’, 2 ft is added to the width of each window. If the method is ‘proportional’, a distance equal to half of the head height of the window is added. If the method is ‘none’, no additional width is added.
@return [String] returns ‘fixed’ or ‘proportional’
