Abstract
Noting the below observations, it appears possible to avail ourselves of much of the useful research done in the past to aid us in developing a generic model for daylight availability across North America. Much can be learned of a general nature by reviewing the sky illuminance measurement of others, but to make this wealth of information useful for our particular interest in North American skies, which is our objective here, extensive sky measurement must be initiated for several strategic sites in the United States and Canada. Those made in this country need to be updated and new measurements need to be made.
Compte tenu des observations ci-dessous, il semble possible que nous puissions nous appuyer sur une grande partie des recherches antérieures pour élaborer un modèle général de la lumière naturelle disponible pour toute l'Amérique du Nord. On peut tirer beaucoup de renseignements de nature générale des mesures de l'éclairenient naturel effectuées par d'autres chercheurs mais, pour adapter cette information abondante au domaine particulier qui nous intéresse, c'est-à-dire l'Amérique du Nord, il faut également organiser des relevés en des points stratégiques des Etats-Unis et du Canada. Il faut mettra à jour les résultats enregistrés an Amérique du Nord, et procéder aussi à de nouveaux relevés.
Teniendo en cuentà las observaciones abajo descritas, existe la posibilidad de que podamos utilizar una gran parte de las investigaciones efectuadas en el pasado para que nos sirvan de ayuda en la elaboración de un modelo genérico de la luz diurna disponible a través de América del Norte. Podremos obtener mucha información de naturaleza general de las mediciones de iluminancia diurna efectuadas por otros investigadores, pero, para adaptar esta abundante información al área que nos interesa, es decir a América del Norte, aeré necesario realizar extensas mediciones en varios puntos estratégicos de los Estados Unidos y del Canadá. Sará necesario actualizar las mediciones registradas en América del Norte, así como iniciar otras nuevas.
