[Radiance-general] ecotect to radiance simulation

[Ignacio Fajardo]

Hi dhaRam

We do a lot of daylight simulations in Ecotect -  Radiance - Daysim for
external consultant
and personal I have done a master, the professor at the university they
don´t teach all that you need to know about
the software and the data.

You need to export the model from Eco to Radiance, and you have two options.
But before to do that you need to give in Eco the reflections value of the
material - material properties and colour.

For Sandstone i recomend to find the coeficient of reflection + the colour
of the material, is important that kind of data for the simulation.

To export is high recommend to be sure the path of radiance.
You need cameras in Eco to see the 3D inside render in radiance.

The first option to export is from CP Radiance (last window). CP open a new
control panel, be sure that the options selected in Eco are the same
in CP Radiance, and the click render. This data is very usefull to Daysim.

The other options is called Final Render, this options give the possibility
to export Rad data to Eco analysis grid.
To export the data is very simple because Eco show an alarm of new data to
export when radiance had finished.

You can download powerfull information from the page of Harvard University,
Diego Ibarra from Chile shows on PDF importants tips.
Best Regards
