While there is a great deal of attention paid to the goal of providing well-daylit spaces in our buildings, our ability to describe the parameters of “a well-daylit space” have not progressed in the past few decades. Daylight illumination levels in a space are dynamic, constantly changing both in intensity and spatial distribution pattern as the two variable sources of daylight - the sun and the sky - interact with the geometry and physical properties of the space, the exterior context, and interior conditions.
Most current evaluations of daylight performance however are made using greatly simplified “sn
