Malaysian sky simulator for energy studies in buildings / Muhamed Fairuz Othman and Shahimi Nor Kamaralzaman

An artificial sky is a tool to produce sky luminance and surface illuminance. The luminance produced from the sky simulator can be used and together with physical scale models to estimate the level of indoor daylight. A half-dome sky simulator with 4 m diameter was designed and fabricated. For the l...
