Hi everyone,

I have a curved lightshelf, how do I integrate it in my daylighting simulations?

Thanks

Hi,

Just give to your lightshelf an radiance material and siply connect it to HBsurface

Peter, Thanks for your help. After connecting my lightshelf to a HBsurface, I should connect it to the HBobject input in the HBDaylightingAnalysis component, am I right?

EXACTLY :slight_smile:

Awesome, Thanks. One more question, how do I account for ground plane for daylighting simulations, I’m guessing the same thing as with the lightshelf.

Yes :slight_smile: you can even double chceck that , if you will just write the RAD filed and than ckceck the material properieties and the geometry from that

Hello , please am conducting daylight analysis for an office with/without lightshelf,but it seems that i see no change (if matter of fact the daylight amount has decreased after applying tge lightshelf), please any thought what should i do ?? Or what are the right process to create lightshelf
