Dear members,
I have make daylight simulation for a school with appartments above. I have
calculat the daylight factor for diferent rooms. My question is if it's
possible to calculate how many sun hours every point on the grid recieve.
Thanks Sierd
The IES LM-83 method for calculating Annual Sunlight Exposure may be a good place to start.

If you're comfortable with the concept behind it, and scripting and programming, you could jump to playing around with some pre-configured scripts.

If you have more specifics about the complexity of your design case, the intent of the data you're looking to generate, and your familiarity with Radiance tools, and other related software packages or programming tools, someone can surely offer more specific advice.
