ECOTECT and daylight calcs for LEED?

Schools-2009 IEQc8.1: Daylight and views - daylight
posted by Xavier Obando on Feb 22, 2010, 3:47 pm

This question was just answered over on the NC forum for this credit. Eddy Santosa said:You cannot use ECOTECT daylight reports for credit compliance. The reason is that ECOTECT does not have capability to do daylight calculation under "clear-sky" condition as it is required by IEQ c8.1. ECOTECT daylight calculation has only "uniform" and "overcast" sky condition options. However, you can export and do the calculation with RADIANCE engine by using ECOTECT.
