Before, i success to export from RadOut.sql Files to the CSV Files. But still i the result doesnt fulfill my expectation. I Hope that The Result Files (see the Images) the graphic result can export as Excel Data, so i can present the data easily in my report.

By using the DB SQLite Browser, i try to converst the SQL files to CSV Files

But i cant read The Result (CSV Files converted), i dont know how to read the data.

Can you help me why this is happen? is that the SQL file only read like that? is there any chance that i can read the data more easily? Thankyou

May be it would be better to use the built-in E+ daylight calculation as soon as it provides maps in csv format, where you have illuminance data distributed row-by-row so you can easily read them. SQL exports illuminance point-by-point so you need to figure out how to combine them into rows to get a real "map".

The illuminance map data is easily viewed (one space at a time) using Results Viewer, which comes with OpenStudio. This works the same whether you used EnergyPlus for everything, or if you also used the Radiance measure for the daylighting. In the latter case, the illuminance map data will be in radout.sql.

Further, if you use the Radiance measure, each space's illuminance map is saved to a separate CSV file. The file header has all the info you need to reconstruct the data into a grid.

Lastly, all the illuminance map, daylighting control, and glare sensor points that were calculated in the model are stored in the file run/[radiance_measure]/radiance/numeric/merged_space.map. This file has the point location and view vector (x,y,z,vx,vy,vz) of every point. Together with the illuminance output (run/[radiance_measure]/radiance/output/merged_space.ill), you could generate a whole building 3D illuminance map of your data! I'm not saying this is necessarily easy, but the information is there for the plotting. (A "Radiance Data Visualization Report Measure" is on the OpenStudio development team's wish list, but it's a long list.) =)
