The performance of glazing and facade design is imperative to the successful design of a building. The amount of solar heat gains that a building receives can have a huge impact on the thermal comfort of the occupants or significantly reduce cooling loads.

By using dynamic simulation modelling Walker Energy Analysis can model your building design and accurately determine the solar gains received by a building. This can be compared with various designs of glazing or brise soleil to optimise the most efficient design.

Walker Energy Analysis uses the latest Daysim DIVA4Rhino software and IES Virtual Environment software to calculate the solar gain and optimise the design.
