I am calculating SDA and ASE for LEED and getting following error.
1. Solution exception:Direct values are not available to calculate ASE. In most of the cases this is because you are using a point in time recipe or the three-phase recipe. You should use one of the daylight coefficient based recipes or the 5 phase recipe instead.
I referred to the previous posts regarding the same issue, however in this case its a run error. and using other recipes is not working.
All the components are latest Honeybee (+), as suggested in the example file from github for annual daylight grid-based analysis. In the same file ASE was calculated using three phase method.
Should I check other components using same method? or try further using DC recipe or 5 phase recipe?
As you mentioned you should use the annual daylight or daylight coefficient recipes instead. You need direct sunlight for calculating direct sunlight which is not available in a 3-Phase calculation. You don’t need 5-Phase. The direct calculation in daylight coefficient is the same as the one in 5-Phase.
We should probably drop the 3 and 5 Phase recipes from the next release so it doesn’t get people confused.
@mostapha I would like to say PLEASE do not remove 5-phase I have finally successfully utilized to do multi-state electrochromic with ASE as you identified above. (Unless there is a different method to do multi-state and produce UDI/SDA/ASE).
