Correlations for Estimating Vertical Daylight Illuminance through South Facing Clerestory Equipped with Anidolic Collector in Bangkok

Abstract

The subject of this article takes benefit from advanced shading technology thought the integration of anidolic collector at clerestory window of building for achieving increment of daylight flux entering into the rear area of the room. This technology is likely to investigate the influence of clerestory aperture on the performance of daylighting collector in term of the interior daylight illuminance distribution by using the lighting tool AGi32. The empirical correlations from the use of anidolic configurations for tropical sky are proposed with high confidence interval (>85%).
