DAYLIGHT SIMULATION

A daylight simulation can help a project’s owner and design team better understand how to maximize beneficial daylight while minimizing glare.

Through a whole building analysis early in design, Argento/Graham can help project teams determine the optimal design for glazing locations and the effects of window films or coatings to mitigate problematic glare. Daylight simulation can help projects earn LEED credit by maximizing the use of natural daylight and minimizing artificial lighting, an effective strategy for reducing energy use.
