Daylighting for Buildings: Influence of the Solar Eclipse on its Spectral Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Extraordinary occurrence of the solar eclipse offers opportunity to evaluate spectral characteristic changes and intensities of daylighting during its various phases. Changes of the daylight spectrum in positions: zenith and 45° above horizon with orientation of sensors opposite to sun position were measured. Changes of horizontal illuminance and luminance as well as changes of the correlated colour temperature in the range of the Planck curve were measured in Bratislava and evaluated. Paper presents results of experimental measurements and discusses in point of view of sunlight characteristic’s changes as source of daylighting.
