Be wary of planning on light from windows or glass doors. I've been burned by that a couple times and I finally learned my lesson. Plan ahead and be ready when the light is what you want it to be... either that or you better get all your takes done quick 'cause the light will change amazingly fast.
After a few shoots which depend on a balance of natural and artificial light it gets obvious why many productions are done on a closed set. Bang everything out in short order or you'll see how fast a day passes when your key is Mr. Sun.
I've got a few fixtures that use 4' Kino Daylight tubes and I usually position 'em right next to the window that I like so much... then as the day wears on I increase the output of that fixture. Sometimes I'll try covering the window right from the start and see if I can recreate the same thing completely from the fixture.
