[Radiance-general] Radiance - External Glare Study

[Joe Smith]

Dear Tom, I'd recommend you to contact Prof Alstan Jakubiec in Singapore
University of Technology and Design (SUTD) who is the main developer of
DIVA for Rhino and has done extensive studies on daylight and glare,
especially the impact of glare generated by the reflection of solar panels
near airport to the airplane flight path, if I recall correctly. - Ji
