Daylight and solar heat load

Good access to daylight affects how we feel, work and thrive. Preventing high solar heat loads is crucial to avoid overheating during hot months and to maintain a carefree indoor environment both thermally and visually. The right light makes environments both healthy and pleasant to be in.

We help you find out how daylight works in a building - both at the planning and design stage. By using daylight and solar heat load analyses throughout the design process, you get a clear basis for decision-making that makes it easier to make the right decisions early on and reduces the risk of costly retakes. With our analyses you can:

• choosing the right type of glass and façade material
• finding the best location for windows
• ensure that the building meets the rules and requirements for certifications
• reduce costs, as lower cooling needs directly reduce operating costs

The result is a building that is light, energy efficient and pleasant to spend time in - without having to compromise on the architecture.
