Day light

Post by Niki2001 »

Hello
How can I create 2 sensors in one zone?

When I change glazing ,then I do suncast, apache sensors and apachesim ,after that there isn't any change in electricity consumption result? I have made dimming profile before.

Thanks.

The feature has only been implemented to allow a single sensor in a room, you could zone the room into parts if you feel multiple sensors/controls would be applicable.

If the Dimming profile isn't coming into play then the daylight in the room must not be enough to trigger it. The Vista results will show exactly what is happening for a typical day so you should be able to easily see how the model is performing

Thanks for your answer. The dimming profile is working for the first glazing characteristic only.
