How to read Energy plus illumination map?

I have placed one window on south side of 12 X 12 model in open studio legacy (sketchup plugin). And i have placed a 10 x 10 illuminance grid covering the entire plan of the model. After running simulations in energy plus i get Illuminancemap csv file. I would like to know the results (point in time illuminance) is showing exact values as placed in the model?That is values (lux) on top represent near north facade and values(lux) on bottom represent points near south facade?
