ADVANCING LIGHTING AND DAYLIGHTTNG SIMULATION: THE TRANSITION FROM ANALYSIS TO DESIGN AID TOOLS

摘要

This paper explores three significant softwarerndevelopment requirements for making the transitionrnfrom standalone lighting simulation/analysis tools tornsimulation-based design aid tools. These requirementsrninclude specialized lighting simulation engines,rnfácilitated methods for creating detailed simulatablernbuilding descriptions, and automated techniques forrnproviding lighting design guidance. Initial computerrnimplementations meant to address each of thesernrequirements are discussed to further elaborate thesernrequirements and to illustrate work-progress towardrnfulfilling them.
