Improvement of energy performance and quality of indoor space can be achieved through good daylighting. Our radiance analysis use photometric simulations to assess the impact of daylight bouncing multiple times within a space, allowing you to quantify daylight availability in order to inform design decisions.
IES Consulting can work with you to assess the distribution, appearance and effects of light in a building, linking this to improvement in energy performance. It is possible to establish levels of daylighting even in the most complex spaces and where advanced daylighting techniques are employed; such as light-shelves, clerestory skylights and daylight harvesting.
Different times of year, times of day and sun conditions can be investigated and photo-realistic images of a very high quality can be provided, enabling the design team to envisage how the space will actually appear. Potential first cost and operational cost saving of different strategies can also be calculated.
