Light Pipes

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what is the best approach to take with Sun/Light Pies and Part L compliance?

Any guidance?

Cheers,

Hmm not sure if there is any official ruling on this but I'd expect in ApacheSim mode you could at least take account of the effects by applying a dimming profile to the lighting gains

Yep, setting a sensor inside radiance, running the radiance apache calc and then applying a dimming profile linked to that sensor should result in that saving being reflected. Just make sure you check the radiance box in the model settings before you run in Compliance.

Cheers gents, much appreciated.

I don't believe there's any guidance on these specific to Part L compliance but for EPC Purposed the conventions document (convention 3.01) states they should be ignored:
