Calculate daylight autonomy

German Molina | November 4, 2017 | version 1.0.0

Calcualtes the Daylight Autonomy for one or more workplanes

This script calculates the Daylight Autonomy. That is, percentage of the workplane that maintains a minimum illuminance

This is another paragraph

Inputs:

1. Expected lux -- required

2. Expected time -- required

3. Beggining of the occupied hours -- required

4. End of the occupied hours -- required

5. Workplanes to calculate -- required
