Solar

When we design modern buildings, a key design consideration is the level of sunlight and heat it will experience. It affects the amount of energy required for of air-conditioning, the overall emissions produced by the design, the level of comfort of users and many other factors.

Solar is a collaborative design tool that analyses, in real time, a proposed building design, identifies how much sunlight it is likely to absorb, offers design options for shading and façade design. It even predicts how much energy can be produced by incorporating solar panels on any surface of the envelope.
