the glazing spec thing don’t go putting in very clear glass unless you
are very sure that it’s going to have those sorts of properties. A
check of the G value should help give you a guide to light transmittance.
Or just check out the Pilkington website or similar to give you a good idea,
their selection tool (think it’s called spectrum or something, a while
since I’ve used it) is quite good for getting some ideas of what it will
be like.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

daylight studies, they should always be carried out using the IEE overcast sky
to assess daylight factors. If you want to check out glare etc obviously
use a different sky, but for DF calculations the overcast sky should be
used. The default positions of everything else in IES should be ok once
you’ve set that up as it will work out the working plane levels based on
that sky. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

able to download IES for a trial from their website normally. Just email
in a request for keys and they should set you up with a trial. If you
haven’t checked out DesignBuilder you might want to do that too (30 day
trial available from their website). Quite similar tool (front end
slightly more sketchup like than IES), but uses energyplus instead. Doesn’t
have the radiance link yet, but we keep pestering the guys there to get that
link in.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

am also approaching learning daylight modeling from an energy-modeler’s
perspective: For daylight studies, I try to give myself an idea of what <u>should</u>
be going on first before “crunching the numbers” by building a
simple model in Google Sketchup, located/oriented on the globe, and playing
with the simplified daylighting tools to see how the sun strikes the building
through the year. With practice I’m sure this will become more
intuitive, but until then I’ve learned not to rely on my intuitions!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

general heads-up that won’t solve your immediate concern: a visible
transmittance (what IES Radiance calls “transparency” may be
something else) of 0.9 is not unheard of, but pretty high for exterior envelope
glazing… when I do daylighting/rendering studies I usually go no higher
than 0.8 or so unless I have actual product specs in hand.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Try carrying out a model for one room at a time. The results tend to be quite

Hi all,</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
I'm doing some daylighting studies with RadianceIES with a model I've imported
from revit. The model seems to have been imported just fine.</span></font> <font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
However I'm getting very low DF-values.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
The rooms I've been studying are rectangular cellular offices with about 12% of
the floor area consisting of windows.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
The results show that approx 5-10% the area of a working plane at 0,8 m above
the floor has a DF-value of 1.2 %.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
This feels like a very low number. The window transparancy is 0,9 and all the
walls are white colored. The ceiling is white and the floor is gray.</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
<br>
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be wrong or if these values seem
ok.</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
Thanks in advance</span></font> <br>
