[Virtual-sim] Low DF-values with Radiance

Hi all,

I'm doing some daylighting studies with RadianceIES with a model I've
imported from revit. The model seems to have been imported just fine.
However I'm getting very low DF-values.
The rooms I've been studying are rectangular cellular offices with about
12% of the floor area consisting of windows.
The results show that approx 5-10% the area of a working plane at 0,8 m
above the floor has a DF-value of 1.2 %.
This feels like a very low number. The window transparancy is 0,9 and all
the walls are white colored. The ceiling is white and the floor is gray.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be wrong or if these values
seem ok.

Thanks in advance

Best regards
