Despite having the same settings for actual and notional building lighting systems, in Vista the actual building lighting gains are shown as continuous over the year (24 hours a day) whereas the notional building lighting is varying with the profile you'd expect from NCM activities.
Any idea what might be going on?
Thanks

Lighting Profiles
Re: Lighting Profiles
Hi John
I should have e-mailed you directly! The profiles are:
NCM Office_OpenOff_Light_WK1
NCM Office_Toilet_Light_WK1
NCM Office_Circulation_Light_WK1
However, if I switch the installed density back to the template (say 3.75 W/m2 per 100 lux for offices), the profile returns to normal. So this seems to be a problem to do with manually setting the installed density but looking at another Part L 2010 model it (thank goodness) doesn't seem to have this problem despite my adjusting the installed density.
Mysterious!

Re: Lighting Profiles
Hi,
The Variation profile associated with Lighting gains shouldn't be editable so I'd quite like to track this down if we can.
I'm going through a few edits such as room data edits to the Lighting input mode and also the same using Edit Group Attributes but so far all is ok.
If you have any extra info on the project that might be useful e.g. version it was created in, any upgrades, methods used to edit the gains then that might be useful.
If you think you've worked this one out in the meantime let me know so I can pass any warnings over to dev to try to avoid this in future.

Re: Lighting Profiles
Apologies for not having got back sooner about this. I'm afraid I never tracked down the problem. I'd be happy to e-mail the archived model if that would be helpful but don't want to waste anyone's time any further.
My solution was a scorched earth approach of deleting all the templates and re-creating them. This seems to have worked. I did not build the original model and I know my colleague changed lighting profiles in the templates. I changed these back to the relevant NCM profiles but it's possible the root of the problem was here.
