energy Saving Simulation of Lighting Fixtures

Post by LEDLighting »

Hello everyone,

I am new to IES VE and I have a question about Lighting Energy Saving Simulation. I hope I post this topic under the correct heading.

My task is to calculate the energy savings of 10 lighting fixtures in a space. Each fixture has an occupancy sensor.

- In the Radiance add-on, I found an "occupancy sensor" box to select, but I couldn't assign the sensor for each fixture.
- How can I adjust the setting of the occupancy sensor? (for example "turn off after the space is unoccupied for 5 minutes)
- How can I calculate the energy savings? (I couldn't find an option to enter the total usage of the fixtures, cost of electricity per kWh, etc.)

Thank you in advance for your help.
