[Radiance-general] Device suggestions for measuring surface color and reflectance in the field

[Kyle Konis]

Dear list,

I plan to build several radiance models of Alzheimer care facilities in
preparation for a field study examining daylight exposures and cognitive /
health outcomes in partnership with a colleague in health sciences.

The radiance work is intended to supplement the data collected from
physical sensors to provide greater insight into 24-hour patters of light /
dark.

I would like to measure the surface optical properties (color,
reflectance) of the walls / ceilings and floors etc.

I am aware of two devices that have been used to do this.

1) The first is the X-rite Colormunki (actual name of product) that Michael
Donn was using while visiting LBNL.

The second is the Minolta CM-2002 Spectrophotometer used by Mehlika Inanici.

If anyone has experience with this task who can provide some comments on
their approach it would be appreciated. (Michael and Mehlika, i will likely
contact you directly!).

Best,

-Kyle
