"ADF" Average Daylight Factor & "AOI" Area of Interest

[Anonymous]

Hi all, 

I am using Revit insight 360 lighting assessment to demonstrate Average Daylight Factor in accordance with the CIBSE Guide Code for Lighting and BR209 2011 Site layout planning for daylight. 

1- I cannot find a way to get the Daylight Factor as an average percentage (e.g., Bedrooms shall not exceed 1% of the Average Daylight Factor). It seems that all the result are breakdown through the room's floor. Is there any way to get the "average" daylight factor for a specific room??  

2- I have to apply "AOI" Area of Interest to the room which means to exclude a 0.5 meter perimeter from walls, glazing, and obstructions as defined in the CIBSE Guidance. I used to apply this directly to the space using IES VE Radiance software. Is there a way to implement the Area of Interest to the room? 


Note that the project is located in Ireland, Dublin 

Thanks 

Regards,
Abdul

Hi @Anonymous,

I believe this forum post will help address your question about average daylight factor: Daylight Factor Analysis. It references Revit 2016, but it is still valid for all newer version of Revit as well.

Regarding your question about Area of Interest, you should be able to derive that information by the method described in the above post. If not, please let us know.
