Re: [DesktopRadiance] Work plane

Dear all,

To get illuminance on the working level you have to export and calculate it on RADIANCE for Windows and import the results into ECOTECT.
Inside Ecotect's HELP files, you find:

Output to RADIANCE

For physically accurate and comprehensive lighting analysis, Ecotect can output RADIANCE scene files data for direct input into the RADIANCE Lighting Simulation Software written by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories. This is a very accurate simulation tool that is available freely to the public. For MS windows machines, you will require the Desktop RADIANCE download available from http://radsite.lbl.gov/.

Ecotect includes support for the automatic generation of material data and control files (RIF files), as well as various CIE sky models. To output a set of RAD and RIF files, select the Export... item from the File menu and select RADIANCE Scene File as the type of file. You can also use the RADIANCE button in the Export Manager panel. For more details on the options available when creating these files, see the RADIANCE Export dialog.

Inside Export Manager (RADIANCE CONTROL  PANEL) you select to export illuminance points to " Surface and/Point Analisys" so after calculation,  all you have to do do is: Inside ECOTECT press F5 (plan) and select RADIANCE results in menu (right side) "Analisys Grid" and " voillį" !!!!  


If you need any futher help....

Sorry for my poor english.

cheers,

vangelis

Hello!

How can I measure the working plane illuminance by using the Radiance?
Because I have tried so many times, and looked everywhere on the
Internet, but still cannot find out the method to estimate the
required result, but here's only the illuminance level of the wall,
ceiling and wall. could anyone tell me about the process of evaluating
the illuminance level of working plane (0.8m above floor)?
Now I am using ECOTECT for the simulation experiments.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Vangelis! Thank you very much for your attention. I've tried to do so by importing (in Grid Management) RADIANCE results to ECOTECT (version 5.60) in .DAT...
