These maps show Daylight Factor (DF) levels on a
virtual workplane. They give information
on the performance of natural and artificial lighting.
These maps allow to study the
performance of lighting through:
-
Validations of illuminance levels compared to
European norms and RT2005 for clear or overcast skies and for
artificial lighting,
- Analyses and advices to
reach required levels for sustainable architecture.
These maps allow to study energy savings through:
- the
increase in the use of natural light to limit
energy consumption and increase comfort and pleasantness of luminous
ambiences.
- studies to adapt the intake and
distribution of the
luminous flux in interior spaces for any luminous climates, dark or
bright overcast skies, clear winter or summer sky.
- the
study of greenhouse effect as a benefit in winter but a risk in the
heating season.
- the integration of different
modern materials and technological devices.
