[Radiance-general] Re: Ultraviolet analysis with RADIANCE

[Greg Ward]

Hi Adriana,

You need some measure of the quantity of ultraviolet light in  
daylight and the UV transmission of the windows, but in principle  
there is nothing to stop you from simulating shorter wavelengths than  
visible in Radiance.  I don't know where you would find the  
appropriate quantities to use, however.

Best,
-Greg
