Run a LEED v4.1 Daylight Option 2 point-in-time study for a Honeybee model.

This recipe calculates illuminance for two specific times on a clear sky day near the equinox: 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. It determines compliance based on whether sensor points fall within the target luxury range.

GLARE CONTROL LOGIC: \* If '*glr\_ctrl*' is set to True, the space is assumed to possess view-preserving automatic glare-control devices. Consequently, sensor points only need to achieve an illuminance level above 300 lux to pass. \* If '*glr\_ctrl*' is set to False, sensor points must fall strictly between 300 lux and 3,000 lux to be considered compliant.

### Inputs

* #### model \[Required]

A Honeybee Model for which LEED Option II will be simulated. Note that this model must have grids assigned to it.

* #### wea \[Required]

A Wea object produced from the Wea components that are under the Light Sources tab. This can also be the path to a .wea or a .epw file. Note that the Wea must have a timestep of 1 to be used with this recipe.

* #### north

A number between -360 and 360 for the counterclockwise difference between the North and the positive Y-axis in degrees. This can also be Vector for the direction to North. (Default: 0).

* #### grid\_filter

Text for a grid identifer or a pattern to filter the sensor grids of the model that are simulated. For instance, first\_floor\_\* will simulate only the sensor grids that have an identifier that starts with first\_floor\_. By default, all grids in the model will be simulated.

* #### radiance\_par

Text for the radiance parameters to be used for ray tracing. (Default: -ab 2 -ad 5000 -lw 2e-05).

* #### glr\_ctrl

Set to True to specify that the model has view-preserving automatic (with manual override) glare-control devices. (Default: True).

* #### run\_settings

Settings from the "HB Recipe Settings" component that specify how the recipe should be run. This can also be a text string of recipe settings.

* #### run \[Required]

Set to True to run the recipe and get results. This input can also be the integer "2" to run the recipe silently.

### Outputs

* #### report

Reports, errors, warnings, etc.

* #### credit\_summary

A summary containing the number of LEED credits achieved and the percentage of the floor area that meets the criteria.

* #### space\_summary

A detailed summary for each grid containing the percentage floor area each space that meets the compliance criteria.

* #### combined\_compliance

Binary (1/0) for pass/fail evaluation results for both 9 AM and 3 PM. Points must pass at BOTH 9 AM and 3 PM.

* #### illuminance\_9am

Illuminance (lux) values for the 9:00 AM simulation.

* #### illuminance\_3pm

Illuminance (lux) values for the 3:00 PM simulation.

* #### compliance\_9am

Binary (1/0) pass/fail evaluation results for the 9:00 AM simulation state.

* #### compliance\_3pm

Binary (1/0) pass/fail evaluation results for the 3:00 PM simulation state.
