[Radiance-general] Solar Footprint

[John Mardaljevic]

Mark,

This paper (below) describes one way to accelerate the computation of
annual irradiation images.

Mardaljevic, J. & Rylatt M. (2003). Irradiation mapping of complex urban 
environments: an image-based approach. Energy and Buildings, Vol. 35, 
pp. 27-35

I can send you a PDF if you have trouble finding it.  Unfortunately,
this appeared just before Elsevier decided to leave the colour in the
PDFs.

The presentation "Precision modelling of parametrically defined solar
shading systems: Pseudo-Changi" gives some more examples (in colour).
It's in the list here:
