Paper Abstract
Shade-screens are widely used in commercial buildings as a way to limit the amount of direct sunlight that can disturb people in the building. The shade screens also reduce the solar heat-gain through glazing the system. Modern energy and daylighting analysis software such as EnergyPlus and Radiance require complete scattering properties of the scattering materials in the system.
In this paper a shade screen used in the LBNL daylighting testbed is
characterized using a photogoniometer and a normal angle of incidence
integrating sphere. The data is used to create a complete bi-directional scattering distribution function (BSDF) that can be used in simulation programs.
The resulting BSDF is compared to a model BSDFs, both directly and by
calculating the solar heat-gain coefficient for a dual pane system using Window 6.
