This paper provides an experimental study on daylighting of office buildings. Firstly, the illuminance distribution comparability of the model and antetype is validated with theoretical and simulating study, based on which office model is established. Then, daylight factor is put forward to substitute illuminance for experimental analysis. Lastly, the study of the influence of window-to-wall ratio, sill height and transmittance on indoor illuminance distribution is carried out respectively with experimental test, and the reasons causing testing difference are analyzed as follows. The results show that testing difference is acceptable.
