Many studies of interreflection based upon the mathematical analysis and experimental data have been made in the idealized rooms. Luminous Analogue Computer, which was originated with O'Brien in the Department of Engineering, University of California or digital computer may be employed for the solution of simultanous equations which describe the interreflection systems. These computers are applied for the prediction of interior illumination or daylighting calculation and the analysis of heat transfer problem. As already published by O'Brien, the percent error of the analogue solution relative to the digital solution results from inaccurate settings of the resistances and errors in the potentiometer or galvanometer readings, but its difference is very few. The predetermination of daylighting design is based upon the many independent element or variables. (ex. room geometry ; room properties and characteristics which involve reflectance ; location and size of lighting window, limitation of depth, effect of interreflection ; construction and material of window ; block planning etc.) In this paper, daylighting design problem of an idealized room with a unilateral lighting window is solved by computer, in regard to the fundamental analytical data such as luminous emittance ratio, direct and total illumination. Moreover, using the point-by-point method, direct and total illumination distribution of the floor are calculated and compared.
