Correlation between Measured and Calculated Solar Radiation Data in Compiegne, France

摘要

Heliodon software has been developed and used as a decision tool of designing with daylight availability by architects and urban designers. The present calculation algorithm of solar radiation of Heliodon is based only on the direct component of the solar radiation corresponding to clear sky days. In order to provide realistic simulations of the energy balance in the cities, the influence of the clouds needs to be taken into consideration. This article is a preliminary work in order to obtain a robust method to correlate the experimental data with the results obtained with the program Heliodon, for the city of Compiegne, France.
