Daylight modelling can be an incredibly useful tool in minimising energy consumption and compensating by utilising the heat and thermal comfort provided by the sun. Our assessors with their 17+ years of experience are well versed in the process of daylight modelling and can guide you in creating the best home or building possible.
Daylight modelling is the prediction of various radiant or luminous quantities using daylight conditions derived from standard meteorological datasets.
Daylight modelling made its appearance among other building performance simulation disciplines relatively recently, marking a profound change from the previously established daylight analyses, such as the daylight factor and sun path diagrams. Daylight metrics derived from daylight modelling now appear in building guidelines, and daylight modelling evaluations are becoming widespread in design practices since they have proven to be a powerful tool to extract a wealth of information on the annual daylight performance of buildings.
Using Climate Based Daylight Modelling instead of daylight factors provides much greater detail about light distribution and intensity within a space, allowing the building’s design to be adjusted to maximise the use of sunlight and daylight. It can be used to:
