On the Diagram of Iso-daylight-factor
JOURNAL OF THE ILLUMINATING ENGINEERING INSTITUTE OF JAPAN, 1968 The improved Iso-daylight-facor Diagrams are described for calculating the direct daylight-factor by using the images of solid angle projection diagram, convex mirror and fish-eye lens.We devised two types of the diagrarm for each of the above three images and were able to use one of them according to shape of light source.We compared theoretical ...

Journal of Green Building, 2016 ABSTRACT This paper investigates the main characteristics of daylight on any window in a street canyon. The sky component and the light reflected from the surroundings are described to determine the vertical daylight factor (VDF). Several street canyon types are characterized taking into account their different height/width and any level of the
