Learning outcomes for the course
After the course, the student shall be able to- demonstrate knowledge of the characteristics of solar radiation before and after passage in the atmosphere.
- review different ways to measure solar radiation and identify the limitations of different measurement methods.
- control the basic geometry and concepts concerning solar motion and be able to calculate the effect of orientation of a surface on the incident solar energy.
- apply calculation models and different instruments for analysing, and indicate how shading from nearby buildings and other objects affect solar irradiation on a given place.
- illustrate and reflect on how human’s need of daylight is dealt with in different countries and different kinds of buildings, based on the demand that can be put on daylight design in buildings.
