Development of a stochastic Model to calculate 1-min irradiances from 1 hour means
Dynamic Daylight Simulations (DDS)As opposed to static DL simulations that only consider one sky condition at a time, dynamic daylight simulationsgenerate annual time series of interior illuminances and/orluminances.

Summary
Radiance combined with daylight coefficients and Perez sky model can efficiently and reliable calculate DDS. (validated approach – several independent studies –resulting accuracy ~20% rel. error – comparable to staticsimulations)

⟨ Daysim: active (energy conscious) or passive user
⟨ Associate work plan sensor with window
⟨ Note: this step requires to couple individual sensors together.
⟨ Benefit: Direct comparison between daylighting concepts with andwithout movable and/or fixed shading devices
Example I – Single officeDaylight factor simulation
⟨ same results for North and South offices⟨ no daylight on the central aisle
Example I – Single office
⟨ ample amount of daylight in both offices⟨ up to 30% DA on aisle => on/off switch with timer
Daylight Autonomy simulation
Occupacy Sensors
• IR: detect changing heat fields (work best when its cool inside)
• UV: detects changing movements (cannot differentiate between a fax machine and a person)
• wall, celing mounted, integrated in luminaire
• stand alone, connected to BAS
