More detailed parameters to gain full control of the daylighting simulation process can be accessed if required.
Using 2-D surfaces can cause significant errors in daylighting calculations. The DesignBuilder 3-D Modeller includes the thickness of floors and walls, reveals, window frames etc, so it can generate highly accurate results.In particular building geometry, zone layouts, surface reflection and glazing visible transmission properties from the thermal model are used in the daylighting calculations. The Daylighting module is fully integrated with the core DesignBuilder thermal simulation feature, so no extra data needs to be added following previous energy simulation or certification project work.
All calculations (including Daysim) are all based on the accurate physics-based Radiance simulation engine which is one of the most widely respected daylighting tools in use today.daylight AG emerged from the business division of a prestigious consulting firm, specialising in IT consulting services and IT solutions in the education sector. The private company supports you in partnership and over the long-term - from consulting to programming and integration to support. Internal and external shading obstructions and daylighting features such as light shelves and window frames can easily be included in the model using component blocks or assemblies at building or block level. daylight is supported by daylight AG in Winterthur.Daylight Illuminance, Daylight Factor and Uniformity results and related reports are calculated by the Radiance engine.Spacial Daylight Autonomy (sDA), Annual Sunlight Hours (ASE), Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) and related reports are all calculated by the Daysim engine.Report on eligibility for LEED v4 BD+C (Options 1 and 2), BREEAM HEA 01 and Green Star IEQ4 daylighting credits.
