Source code for the PC version is not available. -Chas Ehrlich ================================================================================ ADELINE 1.0 ANNOUNCEMENT The Building Technologies Program at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is pleased to announce the availability of ADELINE 1.0 (Advanced Day- and Electric Lighting Integrated New Environment). ADELINE 1.0 is the product of an international collaboration coordinated through the International Energy Agency (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling Program (SHC) Task 12. ADELINE 1.0 integrates the capabilities of a 3D CAD solid modeling program (SCRIBE) with two lighting analysis tools (SUPERLITE and RADIANCE) on the MS-DOS platform. Software links to whole building thermal simulation tools (DOE-2 and TSBI3) are provided. The lighting analysis process begins with a 3D CAD model of a space that you can create with SCRIBE or you can convert from AutoCAD via DXF. ADELINE generates input files for SUPERLITE 1.0 or RADIANCE 2.3pc which calculate interior illuminance levels for simple or complex building spaces. Analysis results can be graphically displayed for predicted electric lighting energy savings . A variation of SUPERLITE called SUPERLINK can be used to model electric lighting system control in response to daylight availability and to generate hourly input files for use with the aforementioned whole building thermal analysis tools. ADELINE is a collection of MS-DOS programs integrated through a mouse driven, graphical user interface. ADELINE encompasses the only MS-DOS version of the unix-based Radiance v2.3. Intended Users: Researchers, engineers, lighting designers, architects. Expertise Required: MS-DOS computer literacy, good understanding of lighting concepts. Input Required: Geometry associated with surface characteristics by code number in SCRIBE or by layer name in DXF files; appropriate analysis runtime parameters (e.g., geographic location, time of year, sky conditions)--for SUPERLITE entered via dialog boxes, for RADIANCE by text file editor. Output Produced: Graphic, on-screen displays of predicted annual and hourly savings; interior illuminance levels; photometrically accurate, color perspective renderings; Output of analysis results via ASCII text files for input to spreadsheet for printing. Supported Platform: IBM-PC compatible computer, 386 or higher with math coprocessor; MS-DOS 3.0 or higher (ADELINE is not a Windows 3.1 program). Strengths: Accurate daylighting and electric lighting calculations; Simple 3D CAD input with SCRIBE, complex geometry converted from DXF; on screen graphic display of analysis results; links for integration with whole building thermal analysis; conversion utilities for analysis results. Weaknesses: non-standard CAD tool; non-standard graphical user interface; requires manual editing and hand-off of text files for integrating lighting analysis into thermal analysis; steep learning curve; limited graphical printer output. License Cost: $450.00 US for a site license. Availability: Limited supply on hand for immediate shipment with your check, see reverse. User Support: No telephone support provided; user based, e-mail support facilitated by LBNL through the ADELINE e-mail discussion list. An Internet connection is required to participate in this forum.

RADIANCE 2.3 pc RADIANCE is a suite of programs for the analysis and visualization of lighting in design. Input files specify the scene geometry, materials, luminaires, time, date and sky conditions (for daylight calculations). Calculated values include spectral radiance, irradiance, daylight factors, and glare indices. Simulation results may be displayed as color images, numerical values and contour plots. The primary advantage of RADIANCE over simpler lighting calculation and rendering tools is that there are no limitations on the geometry or the materials that may be simulated. RADIANCE is used by architects and engineers to predict illumination, visual quality and appearance of innovative design spaces, and by researchers to evaluate new lighting and daylighting technologies. Description/Application: Advanced lighting simulation and rendering package; calculates spectral radiance values (luminance + color) and spectral irradiance (illuminance + color) for interior and exterior spaces considering electric lighting, daylight and interreflection. Intended purpose is to predict illumination, visual quality and appearance of architectural spaces. Used by researchers to evaluate new lighting and daylighting technologies and study visual comfort and similar quantities related to the visual environment. Primary Users: - Discipline: Architecture, Engineering, HVAC and building energy firms and consultants; building technology researchers; university schools of architecture and computer science, artists - Expertise required: High level of computer literacy required - Training available: None scheduled. - User manual and reference manual, short tutorial and UNIX-style man pages make up basic documentation. Author is working on a book. - How many users: At least 100 active users in the U.S. and approximately 50 overseas Input Required: Geometry and materials of design space, including luminaire photometry and surface reflectance characteristics. Translators are available for DXF, Architrion, and IES standard luminaire files. Additional translators have been written by third parties for ArchiCAD and others. Third party (shareware) CAD programs, Vision3D, ScEd and Scribe can prepare Radiance input directly. Output Received: Luminance and illuminance values, plots and contours, visual comfort levels, photograph-quality images and video animations. Platform Required: UNIX-compatible workstation, eg. Sun, Silicon Graphics, Hewlett Packard, DECstation, NeXT, IBM- PC under Linux. 8 or 24-bit color display, 20 Mbytes free disk, 8 Mbytes of RAM and math coprocessor recommended. IBM 386-compatible DOS port version 2.3 pc available as part of ADELINE. Programming Language: C (Kernighan and Ritchie standard) Strengths: Physical accuracy in a graphics rendering package; arbitrary surface geometry and reflectance/ transmittance properties. Weaknesses: Lack of graphical scene editor and comprehensive documentation with examples; too few CAD formats supported.

SUPERLITE IEA 1.0 SUPERLITE is a lighting analysis program designed to accurately predict interior illuminance in non-rectangular building spaces due to daylight. SUPERLITE enables a user to model interior daylight levels for any sun and sky condition in spaces having windows, skylights and other standard fenestration system features. The principle new feature of IEA Version 1.0 is the ADELINE environment with powerful CAD input, materials database and graphical input and output connectivity. The program calculates lighting levels on all interior surfaces, as well as on planes that can be arbitrarily positioned to represent work surfaces or other locations of interest to the user. Intended Users: - Discipline: Architecture, Engineering, HVAC and building energy firms and consultants; building technology researchers; university schools of architecture. - Expertise required: Computer literacy required. - Training available: None scheduled. - User manual with tutorial included with ADELINE 1.0. Input Required: Geometry and materials of design space, including surface reflectance characteristics; translator available for DXF input. Output Received: Luminance and illuminance values; graphical output via ADELINE. Platform Required: IBM 386 MSDOS compatible with 510Kb of RAM Programming Language: FORTRAN, source code not available. Strengths: Complex room geometry including sloped ceiling, L- shaped rooms, partitions and transom windows; non-rectangular surface geometry; automated obstruction calculation; clear or diffusing glass; clear, cloudy and intermediate sky conditions for any day of year, time of day and location on each; run-time optimization; user-defined illuminance calculation planes. Weaknesses: All surface reflection of light is assumed to be perfectly diffuse; maximum number of surfaces limited to 30 for entire scene; too few CAD formats supported.
