When simulating outdoor natural lighting, a spherical sky model is used. This is true in a clear sky, but in the presence of clouds, this model does not correspond to reality. This paper presents the substantiation of the sky model in the form of a spherical segment with a standard distribution of the luminance of the semi-clear (intermediate) sky. Moreover, instead of the ratio of illumination, under given cloudiness conditions to illumination with ideal transparency of the atmosphere, which are usually used in European standards, the direct value of cloudiness is used here, taken from the results of long-term observations at meteorological stations. To modeling the parameters of outdoor natural lighting, a more effective and simple mathematical apparatus of point calculus is used, with the help of which a point set of a spherical segment is formed. On the basis of this set, a field of elementary pyramids is created. For each pyramid, using well-known formulas, elementary values of the parameters of natural lighting are determined.
