SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Daylighting design helps architects and engineers reduce energy use and improve indoor visual comfort by optimizing natural light and controlling glare through informed window, shading, and glazing decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Daylight factor calculations and sDA/UDI/ASE analyses for classroom, office, and retail spaces.
  • Shading strategy assessment and window configuration optimization to meet code requirements.
  • Retrofit scenarios and new-build design projects to balance daylight and energy performance.

Quick Start

Provide a daylighting plan for a mid-size open-plan office to demonstrate daylight factor calculation and shading optimization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate daylight factor and sDA for an open-plan office?

Calculate daylight factor and sDA for an open-plan office by running annual daylight simulations to optimize window configurations and shading strategies. This balances visual comfort and energy efficiency for commercial spaces.

What is the best way to assess glare and shading strategies in building design?

Assess glare and shading strategies by running annual daylight simulations that calculate ASE and UDI metrics. This evaluates visual comfort and controls glare through informed glazing and shading decisions across offices and classrooms.

Does daylight simulation work for retrofit projects and new-build designs?

Daylight simulation works for both retrofit projects and new-build designs to balance daylight and energy performance. It calculates metrics like sDA and UDI to improve visual comfort and meet code requirements.

How do I optimize window configuration to meet code requirements for visual comfort?

Optimize window configuration by assessing shading strategies and calculating daylight metrics like daylight factor and sDA. This ensures spaces meet code requirements while maximizing natural light and minimizing glare.

What daylight metrics should I analyze for classroom and retail spaces?

Analyze daylight factor, sDA, ASE, and UDI metrics for classroom and retail spaces. Running annual simulations evaluates visual comfort and energy efficiency, guiding glazing and shading decisions for these commercial environments.
