<div dir="ltr">Dear everyone, <div><br></div><div>I am thinking on coupling Radiance with ESPr using the Three-phase method. The plan is simple: Make a detailed simulation on Radiance, and create a schedule of artificial lighting power (energy consumption / internal gains) and, somehow, shading control.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>On the lighting power part, I was thinking on creating a Zonal Casual Gain File, that will account for the internal gains generated by the lighting. <font color="#ff0000">Is this valid? should it be just convective? radiative?</font></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>On the other hand... in a recent e-mail I was told that ESPr can use Bidirectional Information (probably extracted from LBNLs WINDOW software) to make simulations; but, since a big advantage of the Three-phase method is to allow easy control,<font color="#ff0000"> I was wondering if it was possible to, on each timestep, modify the BSDF information (accounting, for example, opening or closing blinds) on ESPr.</font></div>
<div style><font color="#ff0000"><br></font></div><div style><font color="#000000">Anyway... consider this an open topic, and please feel free to comment. I know I am not the only one who has thought about these topics, so you experiences will be very welcomed.</font></div>
