LED lighting systems that combine lighting capability, emotional and physiological characteristics are required for lighting source and multifunctional applications. In this work, Simulation studies using optical analysis software packages, Light Tools, are presented. This is done to estimate the uniformity ratio of illuminance and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of the periodic 2D lattice arrangements, such as square, diamond, two-way bias quadrangular, hexagonal, and Kagome lattices, under the same transmissivity, absorptance and reflectivity. It has been found out that the two-dimensional Kagome lattice arrangement exhibited high uniformity ratio of illuminance and PPFD compared to other lattices. Accordingly, these results can be used to guide a design and improve the lighting environment which in turn would maximize the uniform distributions of illuminance.

본 연구의 목적은 형광등조명기구와 LED 조명기구와의 물리적 특성을 비교하여 LED조명기구의 기본적인 특성을 분석하는데 있다. 여기서 두가지 조명기구의 균제도 및 휘도분포 측면에서 비교 분석하여 LED조명기구를 건축실내공간에 적용하기 위한 자료를 작성하였다. 연구는 4단계로 나누어 진행하였다. 첫째, 기존의 조명기구와 비교한 LED조명광원의 이론적인 검토를 하였다. 둘째, 연구의 목적에 부합되도록 실험변인을 조절할 수 있는 실물대모형(Mock-up)을 제작하였다. 셋째, 설치된 실물대의형을 이용하여 조명기구별 균제도 휘도분포를 측정하였다. 최종적으로, 기존의 형광등기구와 LED조명기구간의 균제도 휘도분포 특성을 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 LED조명기구가 균제도 0.569로 기존 형광등조명기구의 균제도 0.522보다 높아 균일한 조도분포 특성을 보이고 전반확산이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 휘도분포를 측정한 결과 LED조명기구가 보다 균일한 휘도분포 특성을 보였고, 벽면의 휘도분포는 형광등조명기구에 의한 최대휘도가 $180.6[cd/m^2]$, LED조명기구는 $155.26[cd/m^2]$로 형광등이 높고, 평균휘도는 형광등조명기구가 $44.32[cd/m^2]$, LED조명기구가 $58.65[cd/m^2]$로 LED조명기구가 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, LED조명기구가 형광등조명기구보다 재실자에게 보다 쾌적한 작업환경을 구성할 수 있는 조명이라 판단된다.

In this paper, colors of broadcast lightings composed of Red, Green, and Blue LED(Light Emitted Diode) can be linearly and quantitatively controlled in low illuminance. Because LED cannot emit uniform illuminance in low illuminance, the colors of RGB LED are unmixable. Furthermore, the illuminances are nonlinear with the dimming values of the RGB LED due to the nonlinearity of the output illuminance with the current through the LED. This nonlinearity generated errors of the target colors and illuminances. The proposed algorithm set up the target colors, which is expressed by the color coordinates in CIE 1931 color space, and the target illuminances. Then the illuminances of RGB LED were calculated using color mixing theory. The calculated illuminances determined the dimming values of the RGB LED for transmission via DMX512 communication. After the broadcasting lighting received the dimming values of the RGB LED via DMX512 communication,.RGB LED can emit target color and illuminance, and be controlled by calculating the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) duty ratio of the hybrid LED driver which be considered the nonlinearity for the illuminances of the LED. As a result, the proposed algorithm can linearly and quantitatively control the colors and illuminances in full range of illuminance. Then we verify experimentally that the errors of the emitted color coordination x, y and illuminance are 2.27%, 3.6% and 1.5%, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to understand the change of impression by comparing the uniformity lighting with the compound lighting. In previous study, we proposed a light controlling method to harmonize daylight from a window and artificial lights from a ceiling and obtained the results to support our method. We referred this method as the Adjusted Compound-Lighting Model (AC Model). The model claims that lighting in a room with a side-window are perceived as harmonious when the overall light distribution in the room is well approximated by a compound of lights from the window and the entire ceiling. The experiment is carried out with the scaled-models and mock-up spaces that were supposed to be an office space. One is lit by the uniform lighting and the other by the compound lighting in each experimental space. In order to present varying illuminance distributions, thetwo variables were used in this study. One was the ratio of thelight from the window and ceiling in the standard and evaluation box. The standard box was provided by the ratio of 20% to 40% from the window and 80% to 60% from the ceiling as two lighting ratio patterns [Wu20(=Cu80) and Wu40(=Cu60)]. And the evaluation box was provided by the light ratio of 0% to 40 from the window and 100% to 60% from the ceiling [Wcp0(=Ccp100), Wcp20(=Ccp80) and Wcp40(=Ccp60)]. The other variable was themean illuminance level in both boxes. Two level of mean illuminance (700lx and 300lx) were used in this experiment. Each lighting condition was established at equal horizontal mean illuminance level, held constant near 700lx or 300lx in both boxes. Both of them were similar in the shape of distribution when there were same ratios of lights from the window and the ceiling. Subjects were asked to evaluate the point of difference by semantic differential rating on their overall impression after comparing with two rooms. The results showed that the impressions of compound lighting were more positive score than that of uniformity lighting on the items of 'dim-bright', 'dislike-like', 'artificial-natural' and 'closed-open', and that there was no significant difference in impressions between two spaces on other items.

The sawtooth skylight is an excellent daylighting concept for the uniform interior illuminance over large working areas. In computer simulation, it is difficult for an architect to get accurate daylight illuminances for the spaces where sawtooth apertures are applied. In this study, daylight prediction algorithms for sawtooth apertures are developed. The flux transfer method is applied for this study to predict daylight illuminances. The simplified equations from this study can be used effectively for preliminary prediction of daylight in sawtooth spaces.

The lightshelf system reduces intense illumination levels of indoor from direct sun light and reflect to lead diffused light into indoor deeply. This study aims to design acurved-lightshelf by a ray tracing method and evaluate the daylighting performance of window integrated with the curved-lightshelf by computer simulations. For this purpose, evaluation test model was designed for the experiments to validate the simulation model, and the curved-lightshelf was designed by the ray tracing method using Ecotect. After the office model was designed using 3D simulation, the average indoor illuminance, luminance and distribution of illuminance were evaluated by simulation which has a algorithm of Radiosity and Ray-Tracing method under four different cases(case1;no lightshelf, case2; Flat board, case3; tilted at $30^{\circ}$ angle, case4; the curved-lightshelf). As results, it turns out that case1 showed higher average illuminance and case4 was more uniformly distributed than case2 and case3, In addition average luminance of case1 was also lower. indicating that the curved-lightshelf would reduce the possibility of the glare, while maintaining the sufficient daylight level.
