Question: 2 ) Calculate a . the average daylight factor ( Da ) for the room in Figure 2 a . The area of all surfaces

2) Calculate
a. the average daylight factor ( Da ) for the room in Figure 2a. The area of all surfaces (floor, ceiling, walls and windows) of the room is \(66\mathrm{~m}^{2}\) and the area weighted average reflectance of all surfaces is 0.5. The window in the room has a width of 2 m and a height of 1 m . The visible transmittance of the glazing is 0.8. There is a building opposite the window creating a visible sky angle of \(\theta 1=22^{\circ}\).
b. The designer is not satisfied with the average daylight factor Da and increases the height of the window by 0.5 m (see Fig. 2b). The visible sky angle becomes \(\theta 2=24^{\circ}\). Calculate the new average daylight factor ( Db ) and the increase (in percentage) of the average daylight factor.
