[Radiance-general] [help] steps on daylight coefficient based climate-based daylight metrics calculation

[Thomas Bleicher]

You can start with these two links:

3-Phase-Method:
http://www.radiance-online.org/learning/tutorials/Tutorial-ThreePhaseMethod.pdf

5-Phase-Method:
http://www.radiance-online.org/learning/tutorials/fivephasetutorialfiles/Tutorial-FivePhaseMethod_v2.pdf

Both are written by Andy McNeil who also gives regular comments on
5-phase-method related questions on the mailing list. It's worth to check
the mailing list archives for his posts.

Regards,
Thomas
