Hello everyone,
I'm working on the daylight in V4.
Is there any free software to do sDA. Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Praveen

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?

Hi Praveen,
We currently publish a free version of LightStanza that can compute an sDA score with some restrictions. The restrictions are for square footage of the model, grid spacing, and Radiance settings. Nevertheless, you could get a good idea of your building's sDA score with it.

Thanks for asking-- its a very complex calculation, since it requires following the IES-LM 83 methodology.
