Daylight Analysis
Daylight Analysis is a way to measure and predict how sunlight moves through a space at different times of day and year, helping designers use natural light in the best way. In lighting optimization, Daylight Analysis can show how small changes in window size, shape, or placement can change how much sunlight enters a room, which affects how bright and comfortable the space feels. Designers often use this analysis to find the right balance between getting enough sunlight and avoiding glare or too much heat. By looking at the patterns of sunlight, designers can plan where to put furniture or work areas so people get the most benefit from daylight, which can help save energy by reducing the need for electric lights during the day.
