Daylight
IDA ICE makes it easy to calculate Daylight factors and illuminance.. Advanced daylight calculations by interfacing the Radiance
Analyse many different daylight and solar factors from early-stage planning process to detailed glare analysis.
Daylight calculations of different zones, measuring planes and time points in the IDA ICE Expert version. This can be distributed on several processes and simulated in parallel.
With our integrated simulation tools, we can offer various daylight and solar studies from the early-stage planning process to detailed glare analysis.
Our daylight and solar services include:
- Daylight analysis according to various certification systems and national building codes like LEED v4 and v4.1, BREEAM, EN 17037, Well, Nordic swan and Miljöbyggnad.
- Solar Intensity and PV Feasibility studies
- Shading design and controls
- Glare and visual comfort
- Facade optimization including glass types, sun protection, thermal comfort, excess temperatures.
- Expert webinars and training courses
