Abstract
Sky luminance and illuminance measurements from the daylight measurement station at the Asian Institute of Technology, Pathumthani, Thailand show that there is usable daylight throughout office hours on every day of the year. The variability of daylight, however, poses a challenge when attempting to characterize the sky and to develop models of daylight availability. Calculation of interior daylight and heat gain, and integration of electric lighting with daylighting are also a challenge. The disadvantages of glare and heat gain can overwhelm the benefits of daylighting in air-conditioned buildings if care is not taken. These problems are associated with clear and intermediate skies, and the combined frequency of occurrence of these conditions is 60%.
