Abstract: Modern applications for energy saving in buildings need to include daylighting. Natural illumination will not only reduce the demand of electrical energy for fixtures but will also reduce the energy demand of air conditioning during a hot period. Conventional approaches consider the natural illumination of architectural spaces by using a statically sky lumination distribution, e.g. the standard overcast sky according to the German DIN (DIN, 1983).
