[Equest-users] light tubes and light wells

[Umesh Atre]

Norm,
Is your simulation going through successfully? Typically, just creating
a skylight in an existing roof (which I am guessing is currently
attached to your core plenum space) gives you an error. 
You will have to create a new roof for the core space, use 'Skylt Roof
Construction' as the construction, and then create the skylight in this
new roof. See if this works.
Regards,
Umesh

Hi,

I'm trying to model a light tube and a light well in eQuest. I'd like to
bring light into the core and maybe a lower level and have this reduce
the lighting required.

so, I create a window in the roof, change the window to "Tubular
Daylighting device" and have a daylighting sensor in the space below (a
core zone).
But there is no effect on the lighting energy. This is the same if I use
a skylight (aka a light well).

Has anyone used this successully?

thanks
Norm
