Useful daylight illuminances: A replacement for daylight factors

Energy and Buildings, 2006
This paper describes the application of a new paradigm, called useful daylight illuminance (UDI), to assess daylight in buildings. The UDI paradigm is designed to aid the interpretation of climate-based analyses of daylight illuminance levels that are founded on hourly meteorological data for a period of a full year.

Analysis of daylight metrics of side-lit room in Canton, south China: A comparison between daylight autonomy and daylight factor

Energy and Buildings, 2017
Abstract To ensure sufficient daylight in rooms, daylight performance metrics are the basic references to guide building design or to benchmark a building against another in terms of daylighting in a room. Daylight factor (DF) is the most commonly accepted daylight performance metric, but it has limitations in evaluating the daylighting of a room ...

Simple correlations between point daylight factor, average daylight factor and vertical daylight factor under all sky conditions and building design implications

Indoor and Built Environment, 2022
The customary method for calculating daylight illuminance in a building is the daylight factor approach, which is assumed under the conventional overcast sky. However, such an approach is not flexible enough to predict diffuse illuminance in the presence of non-overcast skies.

Sociospatial Factors Explaining Daylight Saving Preferences in Australia

The Professional Geographer, 2021
The regulation of time and time zones is a fundamentally geographical process that receives surprisingly little scholarly attention. Since the widespread adoption of internationally coordinated time during the industrial revolution, there have been only minor adjustments to the global distribution of time zones, most significantly in the implementation

A simple daylight factor meter

Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1954
A simple daylight factor meter, based on a commercially available foot-candle meter, is described. An adjustable sensitivity device enables the reading to be set to a fixed value when the instrument is directed towards the open sky, thus fixing the denominator of the daylight factor fraction.

A daylight factor integrator

Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1931
This instrument determines mechanically the illumination at a point on a horizontal surface due to the direct light from the sky visible at that point. The instrument is set up at the point, and a telescope incorporated in it is made to traverse the boundary of the visible sky.
