I have a room and I want to analyze illuminance and UDI

is it impotant the direction of all the surface normals of  walls and roof?

(I know it's essntial for floors)

If you're not using special materials such as mirror then the direction of surface normal is not important for daylight simulation. At the same time if you don't assign RADMaterial explicitly Honeybee will use normal direction to identify the surface type and assign the material.
