[Radiance-general] Venetian blinds Simulation

[G V DEEPAK]

Hello Everyone,

I am involved in the simulations of interior Venetian blinds in a 
10' wide, 18' long and 10' high
office room with one 6 ' by 6 ' window placed on the south 
oriented wall. The window sill height is 3'.

I am observing that the illuminance levels inside the room (at the 
sensor point close to the window) are higher with the interior 
Venetian blinds placed in the model (4500 lux) as compared to the 
model without the blinds (3000 lux).
Also even though the illuminance levels are much higher (at the 
level of 4500 lux close to the window) there is no glare index 
observed (that is value of Daylight glare index DGI is equal to 
zero).

I am attaching all the  files related to he modeling along with 
the input files and the octree files. I might sound very naive to 
you, please excuse me for any ignorance on my part, I am very new 
to the Radiance as well as UNIX. I have used the PICO text editor 
as vi text editor was having some problems in my system. There is 
a file named command, in the folder attached, it has all the 
commands that I have used in compiling and generating different 
components of the model. finalmultiplesim1.csh is the shell script 
used and January.out is the output file.

I would appreciate some suggestions as to where I might be going 
wrong with the simulations.

Thank you.
