c Consider two small rooms in a same building, one on the floor and the other on the ground floor. This building is facing a group of other buildings with the same height in a row at a distance m apart see Figure Q The window plane can be assumed to be at the outer wall surface of the building. Room dimensions: width along window wall;
depth perpendicular to window wall;
floor to ceiling height ; floor to floor height
Window in one wall only: window width ; window height ;
Sill height ; glazing transmittance
Room surface reflectance: ceiling ; walls ; floor ; window
Please calculate the average daylight factor for these two rooms.
