Wandachowicz: Calculation of the circadian illuminance distribution with Radiance CALCULATION OF THE CIRCADIAN ILLUMINANCE DISTRIBUTION WITH RADIANCE Wandachowicz Krzysztof Poznan University of Technology ABSTRACT New circadian photoreceptors are be able to regulate natural body clock. Using spectral circadian efficiency function it is possible to define circadian quantities. Calculation of circadian illuminance distribution using interreflections can be done using spectral values of reflectance and spectral distribution of radiation. Keywords: circadian cycle, illuminance distribution calculation 1. INTRODUCTION The configuration of the photometric values connected with the vision process bases upon the spectral luminous efficiency function V(λ) (Fig. 1). There are known other impacts of the optical radiation on a human organism related with the photo-biological processes that cause various effects (conjunctivitis, skin irritation and bacteria destruction). The configurations connected with these processes base upon known spectral luminous efficiency of radiation functions S(λ). 1.0 C( ) V( ) λ λ 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 300 400 500 600 700 800 λ [nm] Fig. 1.
