Question: ( b ) The CIBSE Lighting Guide and British Standards recommend the following formula to calculate the average daylight factor for a side - lit

(b) The CIBSE Lighting Guide and British Standards recommend the following formula to calculate the average daylight factor for a side-lit room under a standard overcast sky with a lean glazing as follows:
DFav=TAwA(1-R2)%
Please explain each of the parameters used in the formula. Which of these parameters are related to the amount of daylight available at the window?

(c) Consider two small rooms in a same building, one on the 40th 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 30 m apart (see Figure Q3). The window plane can be assumed to be at the outer wall surface of the building. Room dimensions: , width (along window wall)=2.5m;
depth (perpendicular to window wall)=3m;
floor to ceiling height =3m; floor to floor height =3.2m.
Window in one wall only: window width =2m; window height =1.3m;
Sill height =1.2m; glazing transmittance =0.7
Room surface reflectance: ceiling =0.8; walls =0.5; floor =0.2; window =0.1
Please calculate the average daylight factor for these two rooms.
