Things to keep in mind when analyzing daylighting in AGi32

摘要

The key to accurate daylight analysis using AGi32 is the assignment of the correct surface type designation to glazing and exterior surfaces. Interior surfaces require no special treatment. Daylighting calculations using AGi32 follow several important assumptions: 1. AGi32 considers the following daylight components: sunlight, skylight, and light reflected from a "virtual" ground plane. 2. Daylight can only be seen by an interior surface (interior of a room or object) after it has passed through a "daylight transition surface." This is typically daylight transition glass. 3. All exterior surfaces must be classified as "daylight exterior surfaces" to accumulate daylight components. 4. "Daylight transition surfaces" will consider light reflected only from "daylight exterior surfaces."
