To answer the first question, with whatever functionality is already is existing in Honeybee at the moment, the most straight-forward way to do this (in my opinion) would be to:
-
do a simplified DGP calc based on (http://ibpsa.org/proceedings/BS2007/p231_final.pdf) . To do this you’d have to do a single point vertical illuminance calc, which is very easy with Daysim. This result is valid only for those hours for which sun isn’t directly visible in your field of view.
-
Identify those hours for which sun is visible from your view point based on sunlight hours calculations.
-
Run a glare calculation for those hours. You can probably pick one-in-three cases and cut down the time for calcs further.
-
A more invasive method, described in (https://www.ibpsa.org/proceedings/BS2009/BS09_0944_951.pdf), requires getting illuminance values from daysim and luminance-based values from evalglare. That will require some additional outputs to be added to the existing Honeybee_Glare Analysis component.
Clear all of this with your advisor first!
