Hi,
Yes, you can create a map showing the lux levels.
1) You have to add an illuminance map in your OS model.
2) If you want to change the number of the grid points, you can go in the Inspector/ Illuminance map. You can change change the number of X and Y Grid. I suggest you to change the Origin Z- Coordinate. This value represents the height of the illuminance map from the floor. Most of recent research suggest an height betwen 0,7m and 0,8m.
3) You can add a Daylighting control with Create a new daylighting control. You can change properties in the Inspector/ Daylighting:Control. In the same way, you may change the Origin Z- Coordinate of your Daylighting control.
4) To get your illuminance map, you have to go in OpenStudio and add the Radiance Daylight Measure. You have to go in Measures / Electric Lighting / Electric Lighting controls and drag the Radiance Daylight Measure in the *New always Run Measures.
5) You can look at the illuminance map in the results view after running a simulation.
I suggests you to look on other subjects for the results files.
