The LEED Reference Guide does not specify a grid size for daylight illuminance simulations.
I have been using the default 0.5 m grid spacing while simulating daylight illuminance using the software IESVE, but the simulations are taking a very long time, more than a day per floor.
What is the maximum allowable grid spacing for Option 2?

Is it possible to combine Options 1 and 2 for different spaces in the same building?
What spaces are considered regularly occupied and must be included in the calculations?
What daylight simulation software can I use for LEED compliance?
My office space will have cubicles with high partitions. Should I include those in my model?
What types of glare control are acceptable for this credit?
Do I actually need to submit the USGBC Daylight and Quality Views calculator?
Can electrochromic glazing qualify as a glare control device?

Is this question solved?
Information for other users, the grid size for daylight simulation is defined in the IES LM 83-12. It is two feet maximum. I wish it might help Ziad and others.
