[Virtual-sim] Low DF-values with Radiance

Hey,

Yeah, I've tried that. With more or less the same result.
I'm quite new to this with lighting calculations. I'm more used to energy 
performance. 
So I cant really say if the values are correct or not.

Best regards

Erik

Try carrying out a model for one room at a time. The results tend to be 
quite different.

Cheers

Hi all, 

I'm doing some daylighting studies with RadianceIES with a model I've 
imported from revit. The model seems to have been imported just fine. 
However I'm getting very low DF-values. 
The rooms I've been studying are rectangular cellular offices with about 
12% of the floor area consisting of windows. 
The results show that approx 5-10% the area of a working plane at 0,8 m 
above the floor has a DF-value of 1.2 %. 
This feels like a very low number. The window transparancy is 0,9 and all 
the walls are white colored. The ceiling is white and the floor is gray. 

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be wrong or if these values 
seem ok. 

Thanks in advance 

Best regards
