Not sure whether translucent or transparent glazing is right for your project? Our daylight modeling can show the light levels you’ll achieve with our translucent panels, which diffuse light deeper into spaces versus glass. You’ll be able to identify areas where the glare admitted by glass windows is acceptable and where it’s not. All we need is the visible light transmittance value of the glass being used and we can provide valuable data for your design.

Are you planning to daylight with clerestories? Punched wall openings? S-line unit skylights? Or maybe you are looking for more monumental daylighting. Daylight modeling can show the impact of these different placement options and identify where you might need to add, or even be able to subtract, daylighting elements.

Is your massing strategy working based on your solar orientation? Are your light wells configured correctly or are they too deep or not splayed enough? Do your roof’s overhangs cause excessive shading that undermines your daylighting strategy? There’s so much more to learn about your daylighting designs through the process of daylight modeling. Try it yourself and experience daylighting done right.
