Zusammenfassung:Optimum use of natural light in buildings requires knowledge of the luminance distribution of the sky. Since the introduction of the CIE Standard General Skies, several methods have been proposed to find the frequency distribution of sky types. This paper presents a method whereby the ratio of the luminances of two sky elements and the ratio of the luminance of one sky element to the horizontal illuminance can be used in the determination of sky type.
