Option1-simulation. The result of ecotect shows the qualified regulary occupied area is 84% at 9 am, 83% at 3 pm. I took 83% as simulation result. But I got review technical advice like this:'The simulation report only indicates the compliant areas for 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. individually, and the lower value has been used as the total compliant area. Revise the spreadsheet to ensure that only the area that is compliant at both 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on September 21st, not at one time or the other and not the average compliant area, has been reported as meeting the daylight requirements.' As the outcome of ecotect only shows the percentage of compliant area at 9 am or 3 pm individually. How can I get the percentage of qualified area at both 9 am and 3 pm?

If this was the review comment i received, i would send a project team inquiry back to the review team asking them why are they asking for this since you have already demonstrated credit compliance. You have shown them the values at 9am and 3pm, and if the reviewer cannot see that you are still compliant even if you were to report this value, well maybe the reviewer needs some remedial training.

If you only have one room in the building, you are correct. I suspect the reviewer asking you to break down room by room. If 83% and 84% are the summary numbers, your compliance numbers may be smaller than both.
