Daylight Simulation Illuminance - Specifying analysis period (Output: Lux)

Hi all, this is the first time I’m trying to run daylight simulation using Honeybee.

I am running an annual daylight simulation and I would like to know if we can extract output values for specific months in a year or specify an analysis period in “readalltheDShourlyresults” or “readDShourlyresults” components?

I’m asking this purely because I want the output values in Lux.

I know I could try grid based simulation for specific point in time or run parametric simulation for a period. But it would be great if someone could assit me with this.

Thank you very much :smiley:

Hello @Samyuktha94. Yes this is possible using Honeybee Plus Annual daylightdalight component. Honeybee plus uses radiance for annual simulation rather daysim and also it is more accurate.

@Asisnath Thank you so much for the response. I will try in Honeybee[+]. :smiley:
