Daylight Design

The appropriate and targeted use of building performance simulation is an essential tool for high performance design. After design best practices are employed to ensure a baseline level of performance, simulation can bring a project up to the next level. Simulations are also essential for understanding complicated site or program conditions or for numerically communicating design decisions. The building performance simulation service can be used to study a single project, to help interpret third party simulation results, or to develop internal simulation skills among design teams.

Types of Simulations

  • Early concept energy performance

  • Enclosure analysis

  • Daylight and glare analysis and design

  • Window and shading performance and optimization

  • Passive thermal comfort analysis

  • Embodied carbon

  • Architectural scheme comparison
