Sun and environmental inputs for Daylight Factor component (Ladybug Tools 1.2)

Hi,

I was just wondering if I am able to connect an input for sky/environmental parameters like LB true north or epw files for the Daylight Factor component in Ladybug Tools 1.2 (HB Daylight Factor) (pink circle)?

I currently have it up and running but I am not sure if it is possible to input some data for the environment. I want to be able to put in an epw file or change the north direction and etc.

Help!

This is the first part of my grasshopper file

Hello!

I don’t know if this will help you, but I will answer using a translator.

The daylight factor is usually calculated from the total sky illuminance, so I don’t think it is affected by orientation or location.
(In other words, direct sunlight is not included in the calculation.)

You may find this link helpful. You can search for the definition of DF to understand it further.

I’m rooting for you!
