Abstract
The present invention provides a method for simulating daylight performance of buildings based on regional daylight climate data. The method comprises the steps of: establishing a regional sky luminance distribution database from measured data; mapping sky luminance data to an artificial sky lamp group; using a 3D printing machine to fabricate a scaled physical model based on real parameters of the building to be simulated; and using the scaled physical model in the artificial sky integrated with regional sky luminance distribution data to make the daylight performance simulation. This method can achieve high-precision simulation of the daylight performance of buildings by using regional sky daylight climate data with a highly accurate physical model of the building.
