Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Glare index

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

My guess is that the coordinates or facing angle of the daylighting reference 
point in these zones is incorrect.  Remember that daylighting reference points 
are always relative to the zone origin, even when World Coordinates have been 
specified.  In the dxf drawing file, the daylighting reference points are drawn 
as a small red circle to help you verify the location.  You may need to comment 
out all of the daylighting objects and then add them back one by one to make 
sure each reference point is within the appropriate zone.  If you are unable to 
resolve this, please submit your input file.
