This work presents a user dashboard for a Single Patch Sky Simulator which is installed at the Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Technology (CARBSE) at CEPT University, Ahmedabad to simulate clear sky conditions in an indoor environment. Single Patch Sky Simulator is used to analyse and evaluate daylighting systems, daylight factor, and illuminance levels for academic and research purposes and for the evaluation of innovative architectural solutions. The purpose of this work is to develop a user-friendly support tool to facilitate easy calculation of indoor lux values for architectural scale models using Single Patch Sky Simulator. A grasshopper script is developed in this work to analyse the illuminance readings which are received from the turntable and computed using the script to give appropriate results.
