Dynamic blinds for point in time illuminance simulation

Hi @jholguin71,

Yes, you are right. Please use this from @mostapha.

For such dynamic shading analysis, shades are grouped. For instance, shades for windows facing east will be in one group. Honeybee Legacy uses Daysim for annual simulations and Daysim only allows for 2 window gorups. This would a good start if you are using dynamic shading for the first time.

Please keep in mind the following:

  1. Daysim uses Light switch algorithm of human behavior so lowering of shades will not only depend on the illuminance thresholds.
  2. Make sure to carefully analyze the annual shading profile.
  3. Run a few point in time glare analysis to see if there’s really either disability glare or intolerable glare when the shade is being lowered.

Hope this helps!
