Description
Across different disciplines, daylight is measured and quantified differently. As an example, the effect of light on human physiology is quantified using α-opic irradiances, while the impact of light for photosynthesis is quantified using yield photon flux (YPF). Moreover, scenes illuminated by daylight can be captured using a variety of techniques, including multispectral radiance cameras, spectradiometers measuring spectral irradiance, photometers capturing illuminance – and through painting or another artistic method. How can this diversity of measures, methods and metrics be harmonized and compared?
In this workshop, we will capture, collect and inventorize different measures of the same scene using a common, coordinated and time-stamped measurement protocol. Participants are invited to bring their light measurement devices and engage in measurements of daylight and twilight. Measurement approaches from photosynthesis, photochemistry and atmospheric science are particularly welcome. The data collected in this workshop will be merged into a large open-access data set hosted by the Daylight Academy. Insights from this multidisciplinary activity will further expand the understanding of metrics, measurements and data in different fields of daylight research and will contribute to the ongoing Daylight metrics, measurements, and data project.
Participation in the workshop is limited to 20 participants. In your registration, you must indicate the types of measurement devices that you will be bringing for measurements. If you will be unable to bring these devices, then you must cancel in advance as soon as you can.
