Access to daylight is a vital component of a healthy and sustainable built environment, with many studies demonstrating the link to productivity and happiness. Daylight calculations can help designers to mitigate against the risk of poorly lit spaces as well as providing credits for BREEAM assessments.

There are various methods and assessment that can be carried out, please see our pages below related to daylight calculations that we carry out:

• Climate Based Daylight Modelling (CBDM)
• BREEAM Hea01 Visual Comfort Daylight Calculation
• Daylight Factor
• Solar Gain Analysis and Facade Optimisation

Walker Energy Analysis uses the latest Daysim DIVA4Rhino software to calculate CBDM assessment, as well as IES Virtual Environment. We have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the latest legislation to help your building comply with the regulations.
