Integrated daylight modelling
with Radiance accuracy

Better Building's daylight workflow combines simplicity and technical rigour. Run daylight factor or climate-based simulations using the Radiance engine, with tools to define grids, sky models, shading, and surface reflectance. Designed for clarity and speed, users can assess performance at zone or whole-building level, adjust inputs easily, and export high-quality results for collaboration or verification.
Radiance-Powered Simulations

Utilise the open-source Radiance engine for accurate daylight factor and climate-based daylight modelling simulations.

Flexible Grid Configuration

Define working plane heights, grid sizes, and margins to tailor the simulation grid to specific project requirements.

Detailed Reflectance Settings

Configure surface reflectance properties to accurately represent material characteristics in simulations.

Customisable Sky Models

Select from various sky conditions, including uniform and overcast skies, to match different daylight scenarios.

Comprehensive Shading Analysis

Incorporate external shading elements like overhangs and fins to assess their impact on daylight availability.

Purpose-Specific Zone Assignment

Assign specific purposes to zones (e.g., living areas, bedrooms) to align with daylight assessment criteria.

Automated Reporting Tools

Generate detailed reports with visual data presentations and summary tables to effectively communicate results.

Integration with Rating Tools

Align simulations with various rating tools and standards, facilitating compliance assessments.

On-Demand Training Resources

Access comprehensive training modules to enhance proficiency in daylight modelling.
