Sunlight profoundly influences the Earths atmosphere and biosphere. Nature fuels the evolution of all living things; their visual systems; and the manner in which they adapt; accommodate; and habituate.Sun luminance measurements serve as data to calculate typical changes in the daily; monthly; and annual variability characteristics of daylight. Climate-based sky luminance patterns are used as models in predicting daylighting calculation and computer programs applied in architecture and building design. Historically; daylight science and daylighting technology has prioritized photometric methods of measurements; calculation; and graphical tools aimed at predicting or evaluating the daylighting of architectural design alternatives.However; due to a heightened awareness of general health and well-being; sunlight exposure and freedom from visual discomfort while undertaking visual tasks are now equally prioritized. Therefore; in order to assure optimal environmental quality; daylighting technology must be based on sound science.Daylight Science and Daylighting Technology; by Richard Kittler; Miroslav Kocifaj; and Stanislav Darula; sketches the entire evolution of daylight science from atmospheric science through apt visual workplace psychophysics.
