Master daylighting design

Daylight shapes the exprience of a space like no other material and is a fundamental aspect for realizing healthy and sustainable buildings. A good daylighting design can improve health and mood at home, learning and cognitive abilities in schools, productivity and satisfaction in offices, reduce energy consumption of buildings, and connect us with nature. Dayligth is in every sense key for a brighter world.

VELUX Daylight Visualizer makes it easy to take informed decisions about daylighting strategies in small and large projects. From high-fidelity daylight simulations to compliance evaluation for the European Standard for Daylight in Buildings EN 17037 and compatibility with your preferred BIM/CAD software, Daylight Visualizer empowers you to work with daylight from the early design phase of your projects. Download your free copy today and start your journey to become a leader in daylighting design.

Luminance and illuminance simulations

With Daylight Visualizer you can perform luminance and illuminance simulations under different CIE sky conditions, and apply false color mapping to visualize the quantity and distribution of daylight in the space.
