About
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.
VELUX Daylight Visualizer's intuitive modelling tool permits quick generation of 3D models in which roof and facade windows are freely inserted. Other features include a 3D model importer, predefined simulation settings, efficient workflow as well as multiple daylight parametrics providing accurate predictions.
