honeybee-radiance dcglare

Commands to run dcglare in Radiance.

honeybee-radiance dcglare [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

two-phase

Run dcglare command for dcdirect and dctotal.

Args:
dc-direct: Path to direct contribution matrix calculated with a single ambient
bounce.
dc-total: Path to total contribution matrix.
sky-mtx: Path to sky mtx.
view-rays: Path to file of view rays.
honeybee-radiance dcglare two-phase [OPTIONS] DC_DIRECT DC_TOTAL SKY_MTX
                                    VIEW_RAYS

Options

-l, --glare-limit <glare_limit>

When this option is provided, the program calculates glare autonomy, where any DGP value at or above the limit indicates the presence of glare. If the option is not provided, the program calculates DGP under each sky condition in the sky matrix instead.

-b, --threshold-factor <threshold_factor>

If larger than 100, it is used as constant threshold in cd/m2. If less than or equal to 100, this factor multiplied by the average luminance in each view will be used as threshold for detecting the glare sources (not recommended). The default value is 2000 (fixed threshold method).

-sf, --occupancy-schedule <occupancy_schedule>

In the event that the sky matrix includes unoccupied hours that should not contribute to the glare autonomy calculation, file will be read to determine which entries from the sky file matrix will be included in this calculation. Each line of file is expected to contain a numeric value at the end of a comma-delimited list, with zero corresponding to unoccupied. This argument is used only if –glare-limit (or -l) is specified.

-o, --output <output>

Path to output file. If a relative path is provided it should be relative to project folder.

--dry-run

A flag to show the command without running it.
