[EnergyPlus_Support] photo sensor location, illuminance map

["Fakeha Sehar fakeha_s@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to determine the daylight illuminance in the different zones. For that in each zone I want to insert one photo sensor. I want to ask what should be the location of this sensor, in other words the daylight reference point location for each zone. What should be the x,y and z coordinate values? Also how can the illuminance map be generated for each zone?

My window dimensions are as follows

South wall

    0.0000,                  !- Vertex 1 X-coordinate {m}

    0.0000,                  !- Vertex 1 Y-coordinate {m}

    2.3293,                  !- Vertex 1 Z-coordinate {m}

    0.0000,                  !- Vertex 2 X-coordinate {m}
