2015-12-22 03:47:27 -0500 asked a question daylight glare sensor produces no results

Hey everyone,

I just upgraded to OpenStudio 1.10. When running the simulations for functional models I was already working on in version 1.9.1, I noticed the glare sensor produces no results (confirmed both with an output of a flat line in resultsviewer as well as the .glr file of 1kb). I found it very puzzling, since the sensor attributes are in order and the daylight control and the daylight metrics have quite reasonable outputs . I also configured a new sensor, but had the same problem. The daylight measures are crucial to my work. Can you please help me figure this out?

Thanks a lot.

Shading is one of the things I want to investigate. I am modelling a building with several storeys of 3,5 meters height and the research is about the impact of external shading.

Hi everyone, my question is this: When applying a construction on an external horizontal surface, how do "inside" and "outside" of the construction correspond to "up" and "down" of the surface? In my case I have a balcony, which has off-white marble as coating material ("up") and plaster on the other side ("down"). How can I ascertain that the marble will be assigned "up" and plaster "down"?

Thanks
