How does Daylight Modelling support compliance?

Short answer

Daylight Modelling provides evidence that a building meets council, Green Star, NABERS and NCC daylight requirements.

Full answer

Regulators and certification bodies require measurable data to confirm that new buildings achieve minimum daylight access standards. Daylight modelling simulations generate this data, showing daylight factor, lux levels and spatial daylight autonomy across rooms and zones. This evidence is included in compliance reports and used to verify energy and environmental performance.

Why this matters

Without daylight modelling, compliance documentation may be incomplete, causing delays in approvals and Green Star submissions.

How Certified Energy can help

We deliver detailed daylight compliance reports that satisfy councils, certifiers, and rating bodies, reducing risk of delays and ensuring smoother project approvals.
