I want to know if it would be accurate to use HB_Vertical Sky Component to run Sky Factor analysis, which has been previously discussed in the following posts:
My concern is that Sky Factor uses a different Waldram diagram (based on a uniform sky) from the one that is used by VSC (based on the CIE standard overcast sky):
If HB_Vertical Sky Component is used to calculate Sky Factor, the results would probably be inaccurate even though the ambient reflections are excluded?
Would love to know if there are any developments on this.
That’s why the HB Sky View component has an input for cloudy_sky_. Setting that to True will allow you to run the calculation with the CIE Overcast sky instead of the default uniform one.
