Original Abstract

Daylighting simulation programs use different methods and algorithms for illuminance calculations in buildings. It is widely known that results of different lighting simulation programs does not have to be the same for two or more identical rooms. Hence CIE issued Technical Report 171: 2006 which presents test cases to assess the accuracy of lighting computer programs. However, these test cases are simple and the accuracy of daylighting computer programs can be different for more complex cases. The purpose of this paper is a comparison of differences in the results computed by various daylighting simulation programs for selected test cases according to CIE 171: 2006 and for more complex cases.

Keywords
