Summary

This paper presents a viable computer-simulation based on the duration sunshine assessment method. It is hoped that this study will be used as basic data for future sunshine hour assessments. The daylight function of the 3ds Max software demonstrated a high accuracy in the present study. The software enables the location to be set up by entering the latitude and longitude of the relevant region and it also calculates altitude and azimuth on an hourly basis. Sunshine duration assessments using three-dimensional models are created using AutoCAD to visualize the sun shadow level before or after the construction of buildings. This provides a better understanding of the infringements on solar access on an hourly basis.

While a simulation is created using the 3ds Max software to accurately display the shape of a sun shadow on buildings, it is not easy to convert the results into numerical data. For this reason, a separate program calculating the area of a sun shadow is required. In order to calculate the area of a sun shadow and the area of available sunshine displayed in a simulation, the "VIEW" program was developed. The calculation of an area of sun shadow using the newly developed program reduces the errors that might arise from manual calculation and shortens the time required for such calculations.

In order to verify the validity of the computer simulation presented, photos of the buildings and their simulations are compared. Simulations based on the times when the photographs of the buildings had been taken are carried out. As a result, the shape and location of the shadows in the photographs matched those of the simulations.

The accuracy of the sunshine duration assessment using Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 and the "VIEW" program was verified by assessing the sunshine duration for an apartment in Suwon. The results of the assessment showed that the method created an accurate assessment of the sunshine duration regardless of the shape of building.
