Resumen:
While the use of satellite weather files is a possibility in regions without terrestrialstations, it is necessary to consider their impact on daylight simulations. Thispaper aims to verify the variability of dynamic daylight simulation resultsaccording to the weather file used. This study compares the results of daylightsimulations in learning spaces using different weather files (land-based stationdata and satellite data). This work is divided into three main stages: comparativeanalysis of climatic databases; comparative analysis of annual outside horizontalilluminance; analysis of dynamic daylight performance metrics. Annual calculateddynamic daylight metric indicates variations of up to 13% under the differentweather files analysed. This is a relevant topic since the accurate prediction ofdaylight levels for indoor environments guides daylighting design.
