Abstract
This paper aims at evaluating sunlight and skylight conditions in a modeled block in low-and-medium-rise residential area. It is turned out that sky factor is the useful index for expressing the brightness under overcast sky. Secondly, we accumulate the calculated impact of buildings on each lot to compute the whole impact of the buildings on open spaces assumed in the Building Standard Law. It is compared with the actual impact of all buildings calculated simultaneously to show that the impact of buildings is underestimated more than three hours in terms of sunshine duration on a north-south street and intersections in the accumulated result.
