Daylight Measurement Data required for Daylighting Calculation.

Journal of Light & Visual Environment, 1991
Why should we collect daylight measurement data? One of the most important purpose of the collection is to use for daylighting calculation. The calculation can be classified to two, (A) for the research and (B) for the practical application. Since it is difficult to predict at present time what kind of research we do in future and to specify a class of
