My main model works too, thanks for all the help!

2017-10-25 17:33:19 -0500 marked best answer Radiance simulation detects no daylight illuminance

When I simulate light in my OpenStudio models with Radiance it fails to detect any daylight in my zones at all and the illuminance maps show a dark plane with zero lux throughout the year

sensors and illuminance maps were placed as instructed and my models give the expected output when simulating with OpenStudio and EnergyPlus alone, without Radiance (also for lighting)

Global horizontal illuminance also gives the expected results, so the problem is not that there's no sunlight in my model/weather file

This seems to indicate the problem doesnt lie with the model but with the Radiance Software

I've already tried reinstalling the software

I use OpenStudio v2.2

You're right I found the .ill map and it is completely blank which makes sense I suppose since it was already reported t

I regret that Dview doesnt show the illuminance maps. I've taken a look at the merged_space.ill file but found it hard t

That the model works implies that it's a local software problem I already tried reinstalling the software several times

Any results? Updating to version 2.3 doesn't seem to help

Resultsviewer gives (less detailed) illuminance maps when using E+ for lighting. On these you can clearly see the positi

2017-03-27 18:42:52 -0500 asked a question custom space infiltration design flow rates

I'm trying to add custom space infiltration design flow rates to my spaces, after failing to find a way to add them to my space types

under spaces -> properties -> airflow I have finally found a way tot do so but I can only add definitions that are in the library

where can I define my own custom space infiltration design flow rates?

(using OS 1.13)

I have the exact same problem using windows 10, OpenStudio 1.13
