I have two questions about daylighting controls. 1- When I use "Continuous" for lighting control type and run the model with EnergyPlus as the simulation engine in OS, the "Electricity Consumption" is as the same as not choosing any lighting control type (the value is 584 kWh) and when I use "Stepped" or "Continuous/Off", the value decreases to 42 kWh. But, when I run the model with Radiance and choose any of the three lighting control types, the electricity consumption decreases to 125 kWh from 584 kWh. Why the "Continuous" option doesn't work when running with EnergyPlus?
2- I have one zone with an exterior window. the dimension of the room (assumed as an office space) is 6m*8m and the height is 3m. I am analysing the heating/cooling load and the electricity consumption for different cases. where is the best place to put the daylighting control sensor? In the center of the room or for example 1.60m far from the window (in the middle row) where it is assumed that the user is sitting?
