Hello, is there a filled out sample of the Daylight/Views calculator Spreadsheet anywhere? I'm using the prescriptive method to conduct the Daylight calcs. I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Thank you in advance!

If you understand how the prescriptive method works and how to do it, then the calculator is not hard fill out since you will have what you need from the prescriptive calculations. If you do not know how it works, then a filled out calculator will do you know good without knowing where the numbers came from.
1. Identify all spaces that must be included in the calcs.
2.List them and their regularly occupied area in the spreadsheet.
3.Determine the daylight zone for each space, list it in the calculator.
4.Determine the area of glass for each space, list it in the calculator.
5. Insert the VLT of the glass into the calculator.
The rest is pretty much self calculating.

Hi Todd,
I am using the excel calculator (version 6) but the calcs are giving me a lot of zeros that don't make sense. Is there a place where i can find the latest that will work?
