However I installed lamps in a model and run the Apache Sensor Calculation in Radiance and selected the radiance link in apachesim.The total light energy has remained zero. What's the problem in this process?
What should I do to get total light Energy for a model?
apache sim
Re: apache sim
I think maybe you have misunderstood the purpose of the Radiance Sensors calculation and link to Apache.
The lighting in the Thermal/Energy model is represented by Lighting gains (set via Internal gains tab in Thermal template or Apache Room Data). Here you specify the gains from the lights, the fuel used and profile to represent when they are on/off.
Radiance Sensors can then measure daylight in each room and you can use this data to create a Dimming profile for the lighting gains i.e. dim the lights when daylight coming in windows is sufficient.
More info on this available on the Knowledge Base http://www2.iesve.com/Support/Knowledge ... sectionId= but you should probably take a look at the Thermal Template model setup first, User Guides should help and you coudl consider some training if you feel you need a better introduction to VE http://www.iesve.com/training.
