| Abstract | This paper describes a methodology for calculating the daylight coefficient for complex fenestration systems whose optical behavior (transmission, reflection and scattering) may change during simulation. The methodology splits the daylight coefficient into two components: one corresponding to the unscattered transmitted light and the second to the scattered transmitted light. Both components are calculated based on the daylight coefficients of a reference fenestration, and the opticaltransmission characteristic and scattering effect of the actual fenestration. The resulting daylight coefficients for a given complex fenestration system need only be calculated only once prior to simulation and the methodology has been incorporated into Daylight 1-2-3, a new integrated energy and daylighting analysis tool for offices and classrooms. |
