Abstract

In the previous paper, the authors proposed Cubic Model as a method of understanding three-dimensional light properties. The purpose of this paper is to apply the Cubic Model to actual spaces and to examine the adaptability of the model. First of all, a series of measurements was carried out to get dimensional and photometric data in some real spaces selected from university building and private houses. In the second place, the data was input to the Cubic Model program on personal computer in order to derive the light distribution pattern of each space as the result of model application. In conclusion, the following were cleared: 1) Even when the Cubic Model is applied to the actual spaces, the light distribution patterns can be appropriately expressed in almost cases. 2) The effectiveness of the Cubic Model was well ascertained in comparison with the different visualizing media of light distribution such as CG (Computer Graphics).
