To hi LUX values

Hi!

I am trying to calculate the daylight of a space. I have export the model to radiance and I have units of lux. I don't know much about daylighting, but I know that the values I get are very large. I have values from 8000 lux to 20000 lux. Any idea how to correct this problem? I am giving you a photo of the model and a result from radiance to understand my problem.

Thank you

Kordou

Daylight factor

Try to calculate the daylight factor in Ecotect and display it on the analysis grid. You can use this factor as an indication of the lighting performance of the space. Note that it looks like you have calculated the daylight levels with a clear sky with sun. Levels of the natural light inside your model will depend on the orientation of the window, shading devise design and the time of the day and year.

Maybe with your eco files,

Maybe with your eco files, I could see what the problem is. Actually, you should try with an overcast sky, maybe the result will be nearer the reality.
