Advanced Options Advanced options allows the user to change some of the program calculation settings. The program's default values for these settings are listed and an input field is given for overriding each setting. |
 |
Geometry Input The Geometry Input page is where the user defines the geometry and electric lighting layout of the desired space to be analyzed. |
 |
Site and Usage The Site and Usage Input page allows the user to define the location of the building, occupancy and shade device schedules, and set the desired shade device control strategy. |
 |
Electric Lighting Results The Electric Lighting Results page presents nighttime workplane illuminance with the electric lighting on at 100%. This page is viewable once the electric lighting calculations have finished. |
 |
Daylighting Results The Daylighting Results page presents annual daytime workplane illuminances. By this point in the program, SPOT has only calculated a sampling of 10 representative sky conditions. |
