Light transmission and reflection of façades

Energy Efficiency and Indoor Climate

Photogoniometer
© Fraunhofer IBP
Measurement Directed-directional light transmission and light reflectance (luminance coefficients, BRTDF), directional-hemispherical light transmittance and reflectance
Standards DIN EN 410, DIN EN 13363, DIN EN 14500, DIN EN 14501, DIN V 18599-4
Measurement objects Glass, Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) like functional glass types (e.g. printed glass, glass for light control), blinds, textile sun protection, glass-sun protection composites, systems for skylights

Technical data

Light source D65 spectrum, opening angle 0.34°
Exposure to sample: elevation angle of 0° up to 84°
Azimuth angle: 0 to 360°
Sensor system Spatially resolved measurements by luminance camera (2°)
Monochromatic, 3 color channels, circadian action spectrum c(λ)
Sample size (L × W × H) 600 mm x 600 mm x 30 mm

Special features

Automatic sample positioning Highly automated measuring device. Inter alia louvre angle of blinds can be set automatically.
Further use of the data in planning Software-based data analysis. The recorded data may inter alia directly be used in light simulation programs such as DIALux to evaluate the façades photometrically and energetically.
