[Equest-users] eQUEST - "default daylighting" -- cool feature discovery

[Ramana Koti]

I'm curious to see if anyone has comments on how photo sensor placement
happens at the workplane level looking up in the energy and daylighting
models but in reality most photo sensors are ceiling mounted looking out of
the window.
