RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] daylight received from direct sunlight

["Danny Bishop" <bish.dj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob

Thanks for your feedback. I had figured that it doesn't directly report this
value, but I was hoping there could be an easy way to tease it out. I had
considered the use of "Luminous efficacy of beam solar", and multiplying
that by the amount of beam solar entering a zone, but I'm not sure how to
get the simple value of beam solar entering a zone out of E+ either. Any
ideas?

Cheers

Danny

Danny,

The timestep calculation of daylight illuminance at each reference point 
in a daylit zone is a combination of direct sun, diffuse sky, and 
exterior and interior surface reflected daylight. The contribution from 
each of these sources is not calculated and reported separately during 
each timestep.
