Hi all,
Sorry to bug you again with my issues. I activated casual gain control and
ran a simulation with trace facility for casual gains on. The results at a
random time step look like this:
Subroutine MZCASI Trace output 26 Zone 15
Day No. = 147 (i.e. 27th of May.), Time 18:00 Hours
Subroutine INTLUM Trace output 27 Zone 15 Lvl3.LivingRoom
Day No. = 147 (i.e. 27th of May.), Time 18:00 Hours
Light|Sens|sun |via |daylight|visib|sun/dir|sky/dif|sensed|set |ext vert
zone|num.|seen|window|factor% |trnsm|contrib|contrib|lux |point|ilum(Ev)
1 1 no 9 1.23 0.67 0.0 148.4 148.4 500. 6018.
1 1 no 10 0.66 0.67 0.0 79.6 79.6 500. 15506.
1 1 no 11 0.63 0.67 0.0 76.0 76.0 500. 38597.
Light zone 1 ON/OFF ESP-r calc df, ZFRAC= 0.00
Fraction of lighting "ON" FRAC=0.00
Ext: Dir.nor.rad. W/m^2( 431.0) Dif.hor.rad.( 97.0)
: sun light lux(34985.0) sky light lux(12035.5)
: sun/dir efficacy ( 81.17) sky/dif efficacy ( 124.08)
: solar azi deg( 286.2) solar alt deg( 14.1)
: TMC blind/shuter(0.00) Sun patch no.( 0)
I have trouble understanding the results. As I have three windows, I see
that MZCASI calculates the lux for each one and compares it to the set
point (500 here). However, a few lines down, the fraction of lighting "ON"
is at 0. Shouldn't that be more than 0 since the sum of the sensed lux from
the windows is below 500? Is there something I am missing? I would
appreciate it if you could let me know where I could find more information
in order to understand the results by the trace facility.
Kind regards,
Dimitris
