The course treats the physics of solar radiation, solar geometry, the way solar radiation is distributed over time and space, the different ways to measure solar radiation, solar radiation data and different models to calculate solar radiation on surfaces. Methods like sun path diagrams and instruments like the horizontoscope are used for calculating the amount of available solar radiation are discussed and used in laboratory work. A special application treated is daylight and the way in which buildings and their windows affect daylight in different types of buildings.
