Hi all, I'd like to confirm some information that I 'collected' from different posts in this forum, regarding annual glare and daylight predictions.
-Annual Glare cannot be simulated 'alone' using Energy Plus, is calculated through Open Studio-Radiance
-This is done using the glazing material created within Open Studio, the use of BSDF data from Window 7 is not yet implemented in Open Studio
-If the BSDF data cannot be used in Open Studio-Radiance; but it is possible to use it in Energy Plus, what method is used to carry-out daylight simulations in Energy Plus? And how approximate are those results to those obtained with Radiance?
-The use of user-defined BSDF would be implemented sometime soon in Open Studio, at the moment only venetian blinds can be simulated: are those included in a database? or how can such system be tested?
I'd highly appreciate your help.
Steph
