NBS (National Bureau of Standards) Daylight Availability Database

S. Treado / G. Gillette / W. Remmert / J. Bean

This report presents an annual database containing hourly measurements of solar radiation, illumination, sky luminance, and ambient air temperature. The measurements were made at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Both instantaneous hourly and integrated average hourly measurements are included, as are daily, monthly and annual average and totals. For each measured quantity, a histogram of the distribution of the data is presented for the year. The data measurement, collection, and analysis system is described. This type of information is useful for determining energy requirements of buildings.
