DIGITAL MODELING
Pseudo Color Exposure Control
After digitally modeling the VAC three dimensionally in Autodesk VIZ we then placed an IES Daylight in the file to simulate a cloudy sky at various times of day for our particular location, Moscow, Idaho. We then applied architectural materials which work with the IES skylight to simulate the actual material surfaces reflectivity.
Radiosity solutions were calculated with pseudo color exposure control activate to make visual comparisons between the different seasons at various times of day, looking at both Luminance (cd/m²), and Illuminance readings.
