Hi Guys,
Just wondering what is the best approach to take with Sun/Light Pies and Part L compliance?
Any guidance?
Cheers,
C

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.

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:
