What are the benefits of Daylight Modelling?

Short answer

Daylight Modelling improves energy efficiency, boosts occupant wellbeing, reduces artificial lighting demand and supports compliance.

Full answer

The key benefits of daylight modelling include:

• Energy savings: Less reliance on artificial lighting.

• Health & wellbeing: Natural light improves mood, productivity, and sleep cycles.

• Design optimisation: Identifies the best orientation, glazing, and shading.

• Compliance: Meets council requirements and earns points for Green Star/NABERS.

Why this matters

Clients and councils increasingly expect evidence-based design decisions. Daylight modelling provides measurable proof that your project meets modern sustainability and wellbeing benchmarks.
