10.3 Detailed Results

The last table on the Annual Analysis screen is similar to the table shown on the Design Tool – Daylight Calculations screen except it now represents true annual data rather than an approximation from the given representative days. Similar to the tables discussed above, the table is color-coded to show the relative performance when illuminance values are selected in the pull-down menu, as illustrated to the right. The Critical Point in the room is also highlighted for average, minimum, and maximum illuminance selections. When average illuminance is selected, the point highlighted is the point in the room that receives the lowest annual average illuminance. When minimum illuminance is selected, the true Critical Point is highlighted, which is the point that received the lowest illuminance throughout the year. When maximum illuminance is selected, the point with the highest illuminance throughout the year is selected.

The data to display on the table is selected in the pull-down menu and includes:

Annual Average Illuminance [fc or lux] – This option displays the annual average workplane illuminance under both electric light and daylight.
Annual Minimum Illuminance [fc or lux] – This option displays the annual minimum workplane illuminance under electric light and daylight. This is the absolute critical point of the space.
Day of Minimum Illuminance [m.d] – This option displays the month and day the minimum illuminance occurred for each point on the workplane.
Time of Minimum Illuminance [hr] – This option displays the hour the minimum illuminance occurred for each point on the workplane.
Annual Maximum Illuminance [fc or lux] – This option displays the annual maximum workplane illuminance under both electric light and daylight.
Day of Maximum Illuminance [m.d] – This option displays the month and day the maximum illuminance occurred for each point on the workplane.
Time of Maximum Illuminance [hr] – This option displays the hour the maximum illuminance occurred for each point on the workplane.

The Workplane Illuminance for Specific Time button below the pull-down menu, takes the user to the Climate Specific Results page previously accessible in the program. At this point, the results displayed on this page will be more accurate than before as they will be based on the denser analysis mode sample days.
