Get Illuminance at Reference Point (Daylight + Lamp)

Dear all,

I want to get the illuminance [lux] of a zone which depend on daylighting and on the lamp intensity. Unfortunatelly, there is no "illuminance at reference point" output. There is just a "daylighting at reference point" ignoring the light from the lamps. Do you have an idea how to calculate the sum of both light sources? In concrete I am looking for the value a real light sensor would measure at a reference point.

Thank you in advance! P

@Chelydrae great, in the future you should also include the energyplus tag to let others know the tool that you're using and so that others who follow that tag can get notifications or emails and provide help.
