Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Illuminance Map

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a new object that slipped into the bug release (without documentation).

DAYLIGHTING:ILLUMINANCE MAP,
    \min-fields 9
   A1 , \field Map Name
        \required-field
   A2 , \field Zone Name
        \required-field
        \type object-list
        \object-list ZoneNames
   N1 , \field Z height
        \units m
        \type real
        \default 0.0
   N2 , \field X minimum coordinate
        \units m
        \type real
        \default 0.0
   N3 , \field X maximum coordinate
        \units m
        \type real
        \default 1.0
   N4 , \field Number of X grid points
        \type integer
        \minimum> 0
        \maximum 10
        \default 2
   N5 , \field Y minimum coordinate
        \units m
        \type real
        \default 0.0
   N6 , \field Y maximum coordinate
        \units m
        \type real
        \default 1.0
   N7 ; \field Number of Y grid points
        \type integer
        \minimum> 0
        \maximum 10
        \default 2

It creates a separate file eplusout.map (it may or may not be in the 
"EPL-RUN.bat" saves for the V1.1.1.020 release).

This map has the illuminances by hour of the day at the grid points.  This 
can be put into Excel and graphed so that you can visualize the illuminance 
for the entire zone.
