A little problem I got with OpenStudio/Radiance is the orientation of the daylight sensor in the model. The arrow should be oriented towards the window.

The trouble is that findglare does not find any glare sources in this image. By default, findglare identifies areas that are seven times the average luminance as glare sources. Your scene simply does not have that much variation in it. If you look at the man page there is a -t option that allows you to adjust this threshold.
