How can I compare the Light Electric power usage per hour before and after using daylight
sensors?
I suposed that Light Electric Power object is able to do this. Am I correct?
I want to report something like below image.

You should be able to model this by using Daylighting:Controls object and setting required Illuminance setpoint values at reference point(s). Lighting energy consumption will also depend on the Lighting control type i.e. continuous, stepped or continuous/off. Also, make sure that you modify Fraction Replaceable field of Lights object.
Hello Wassem, thank you for help, but, even taking into account all objects listed above, comparing the results between windows A and B with opaque surface and the same windows with semi transparent photovoltaics, the energy consumption in KWh remain with same values. It doesn't make sense because there is daylight reaching the space in second case. Do you know how can i fix it?
(input output reference): *Fraction Replaceable. This field defines the daylighting control for the LIGHTS object. If Daylighting:Controls or Daylighting:DELight:C
@luis melo: You can share a dropbox link here so that anyone (who wants to) can have a look.
Some more detail about this model and the daylighting strategy would also be nice. You have two zones with daylighting controls, and refer to "windows A and B" being changed; what about the large glazed area in the second, larger space? Is that one also changing? Are the results for the building or by zone, or??
