Part L: Automatic Daylight Zoning in DSM

[RossThompson87]

Hi,

In the NCM modelling guide there are requirements to zone deep rooms (>6m) to account for access to daylight etc.

For a long time there has been an option in SBEM to automatically account for this in lighting controls.

I understand that DSM uses similar equations for calculating lighting energy. So can this feature also be available in DSM?

Thanks

Ross

Hi,

This is something we've considered in the past but would likely require modification of the model geometry so not quite as simple as how SBEM must apply it.

I'll add it to our feedback list for future consideration but in meantime the partition tool in ModelIT is likely the fastest way to subdivide perimeter zones
