- Abstract
- The report describes the capabilities of the BLAST and CEL-1 computer programs and the procedures for using a hybrid version which incorporates both programs into a single design and analysis tool. Details on assembling the required information for development of the input files and the actual execution of the hybrid program are covered. The program allows detailed simulation of actual lighting systems using CEL-1 including daylighting effects while providing BLAST with lighting energy modifiers on an hourly basis. The procedure is demonstrated using a sample building.
