2016-07-13 23:49:28 -0500 commented question How to make illuminance data in weather data file being used within EnergyPlus daylight related calculation?

Dear @rpg777 , I prefer not to explain too much why I find it interested to use measured illuminance data, after all the key of this question is seeking the way to achieve this rather than asking for opinion whether should I do this. Do you have some suggestions on this? For example, is it possible to modify EnergyPlus to directly use illuminance data? and which modules should I modified to achieve this? How much is the estimated work load? Thanks.

@__AmirRoth__ Thanks for your correction. I have slightly modified the name form of the module. Is it right now?

2016-07-13 08:50:26 -0500 asked a question How to make illuminance data in weather data file being used within EnergyPlus daylight related calculation?

I want to use the illuminance data from my real weather data file to do the daylight calculation in EnergyPlus. So far as I know, EnergyPlus does not use illuminance data from weather file directly. All the illuminance values used in simulation process are derived from radiation data.

What should I do to make illuminace data in .epw file being used directly in daylight calculation? Can this be done by recoding some lines in Weathermanager module and/or daylighting modules?
