Ray-Tracing Method를 이용한 일영면적 산정방식 고찰

A Study on the Calculation of Overshadowing Area by Ray-Tracing Method

Nowadays, the solar expose right is very important with people's life. Therefore, in calculating the sunshine hours, the point analysis and area analysis methods are used in previous studies. Previous two methods have merits and faults. Therefore, ray-tracing method is used as a alternative. Ray-tracing method is adopted by the software of Autodesk Ecotect which is a widely used program by the architectural company and academic university. In this study first, ray-tracing methodology is studied with how to calculate the overshadowing area and, secondly, the sensitivity of the two major factors, overshadowing accuracy and sky subdivision, is analyzed. With these results, appropriate application of the ray-tracing method is presented.
