In this paper, the development of an original and time-efficient measurement device is proposed for the detailed investigation of the daylight distribution within buildings. It is meant to be used for two kinds of applications: - to assess the sunlight distribution inside scale models in an automated way so as to serve as a design and educational tool for architects and students and help them find solutions to improve the sunlight distribution within their building projects. - to achieve time-efficient bidirectional goniophotometric measurements of materials, typically used for innovative fenestration systems such as solar blinds, advanced glazing or coatings and daylight-redirecting devices, as well as energy-efficient artificial lighting components like luminaires reflectors e.g. The functioning principle of the device in both configurations is explained here and its early stages of development are presented: design and construction of the mechanical platform, command interface prototype and characteristics of the light detection system.
