[Radiance-general] Re: Illum rules of thumb

[Mark de la Fuente]

Georg,  Thanks for the detailed response!  You bring up a good point. 
Since in this case the outside geometry is a downtown area, and the
shading from all the buildings will have a great effect on the study,
the illums will have to be subdivided to a reasonable degree in order to
properly account for all the shadowing.
 
Actually your response brings up another question! :)
 
If one were to have a complex daylight entry system at the windows,
wouldn't it make sense to run a mkillum calculation with illums outside
first, and then a second mkillum calculation (with the first set of
illum planes in the octree) of illum planes inside (beyond the daylight
entry system)?  You could get carried away with this, but hopefully you
get what I'm getting at.
 
Mark
