Dear All:-
Is it possible to do sDA (spatial Daylight autonomy) & Annual Sunlight
Exposure in AGi32
please clarify what is a difference between Daylight analysis & Spatial daylight autonomy

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?

Their fact sheet states that AGI 32 can only do LEEDv4 option 2, which is single point in time calculations. So the answer is no.
I have used AGI 32 for single point in time calculations and compared them to actual space and the average was about 3-8% difference. A bit larger difference under cloudy skies and more accurate under clear.
Daylight analysis is analyzing the daylight performance of space. Spatial Daylight Autonomy is a metric used to measure daylight performance.
DaySim through Diva for Rhino, Daysim, SPOT, and light stanza will perform sDA
