VELUX Daylight Visualizer is a simple tool for daylighting design and analysis. It is intended to promote the use of daylight in buildings and to aid professionals by predicting and documenting daylight levels and appearance of a space prior to realization of the building design.
The Daylight Visualizer intuitive modeling tool permit quick generation of 3D models in which roof and facade windows are freely inserted. The program also permits users to import 3D models generated by CAD programs in order to facilitate a good workflow and provide flexibility to the model geometry.
Other features include predefined settings, a surface editor, site specifications, flexible view settings as well as multiple daylight parametrics providing accurate predictions.
Simulation output: luminance, illuminance, daylight factor and daylight/sunlight animation.
Calculations have been validated against CIE 171:2006, Test Cases to Assess the Accuracy of Lightning Computer Program. The evaluation was performed by ENTPE, Ecole Nationale Des Travaux Publics de l’Etat in France. More information and a report on the validation study are available in the news section of this site.
VELUX Daylight Visualizer’s efficient workflow and intuitive design make it accessible and easy to use.
VELUX Daylight Visualizer is developed by LUXION.
