Information

Natural illuminance transmitted to a zone and artificial lighting demand

Hypothesis and equations

From incident illuminance from each bay window, the luminous flux transmitted in direct, hemispherical and semi-hemispherical form are determined. Thus the equivalent luminous flux transmitted to the zone and the global natural lighting transmitted to the zone are deduced.

With a threshold of luminous autonomy, it's possible to determine the artifical lighting demand.
