[Equest-users] daylighting with skylights

[Haller, Franz]

I am have problems daylighting my model with skylights.

It seem like equest wants to only daylight using windows.  However my
model is using primarily skylights.  In my core space I am getting error
message:

 

***ERROR****************************************************************
*******

           A daylighting calculation was requested for SPACE EL1 Core
Spc (G.C5)             

           This SPACE has no WINDOWs with AREA more than 0.1 SQFT.

           Add WINDOWs to this SPACE of turn off DAYLIGHTING.

 

Another issue might be the fact that the daylight azumith does not want
to point in the Z direction.  It seem only to want look toward a window
or wall.  I believe this might have something to do with my errors.

 

I have attached my model.  Daylighting is the very last parametric run.
