Annual Daylight Simulation: Running the simulation for only a few days in each month

Sarith, OpenStudio gives a very nice report while it’s running the 3Phase analysis. I thought that it might be helpful for you. Here is the lines. I also attached the file which is the OpenStudio testroom for Radiance measure.
