Daylight Availability Simulation 
Background Material: DH-II chapter 11 (upcoming) | MIT lecture: Daylight Availability

The goal of this assignment is simulate the daylight availability in the daylit space for which you earlier generated a calibrated model. To do so, calculate the spatial daylight autonomy distribution for the space using a simulation environment such as DIVA/Daysim. A detailed video tutorial, describing the simulation setup, is provided under DIVA Tutorial 02 - Daylight Autonomy . If you earlier conducted a daylight area study evaluation of the same space, you may further compare your or your group's subjective evaluations of the space against your simulations. An example simulation plus comparison by Manos Saratsis and Irmal Turan is shown below.
