A Daylight Calculation Method for a Louver System Under the Uniform Sky Condition

The configuration factors in the flux transfer method are applied to calculate daylight factors reaching a station point. To analyze the window equipped with a louver system, geometrical correlation is used for the length shielded by the louver. The space in front of a window is assumed to be an imaginary outdoor space for calculating the luminance of the louver system. The data calculated from this study are compared with SUPERLlTE simulation data and the scale model data. Scale model data are collected on the roof of the Engineering building at Korea University in Seoul under the uniform sky condition.
