Abstract: A file format for dynamic daylight simulations (DDS)
Christoph Reinhart (National Research Council, Canada)
This paper has two objectives. To define a standard daylight coefficient format that is independent of building location and scene orientation, and to present an overall file format for dynamic daylight simulations (DDS) that organizes daylight coefficient sets for different sensors in a building. The DDS file format is meant to serve as:
- a standalone file format to calculate annual illuminance/luminance profiles in a building,
- a common format for inter-program data exchange (e.g. for integrated thermal/lighting simulations), and
- a potential new building property block for complex building models such as Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs).
