Thanks andy

I will have a look to designbuilder

Kind regards

DB v3 only provides illuminance output on a working plane so you might need to post-process the results yourself to calculate light-re-reflection out through windows.

Have anyone a suggestion? I have try to use open studio plug-in 0.4.0 to create the internal furniture and then convert the model in a radiances model but i am not finding very complicate to do that any suggestions on that?
