    Sky models
    Overcast sky
    7000 (winter) to 20000 (summer) lux on ground CIE overcast L()=Lz (1+2sin)/3

    Sky models
    Clear sky
    30000 (winter) to 100000 (summer) lux on ground

    Sky models
    Clear sky
    CIE clear sky model
    L = fction of zenith luminance and sun position

    Sky models
    Clear sky
    CIE clear sky model
    L = fction of zenith luminance and sun position

    Perez All Weather sky model (generalization of CIE clear sky)


    L = fction of zenith luminance, sun position, dew point and 5 coefficients

    L fully defined if diffuse and direct irradiance are known

    Ex. for overcast: Perez vs. CIE

    Average Daylight Factor calculation


    Empirical formula
    where
    W = Area of each window (m), = Transmittance of each glazing material
    = Vertical angle of sky as seen from centre of each window

    m = Maintenance factor based on angle of glazing and cleanliness (0.5 0.9), A = Total internal surface area of space, including walls, floors, ceilings & windows (m)
    R 2= Area weighted average reflectance of all surfaces making up A (use 0.1 as reflectance for glass).
