daylighting Q&A
ASK THE EXPERTS
"I am an architectural 3D renderer trying to use real world light values in an interior rendering. I am using a rectangular light in a 4 x 4 window to mimic daylight coming through and want to know if there is a lumens/sf value (or range) that I can use for an unobstructed north facing window on a cloudless day at noon."
