Daylight & Sunlight Calculations within Revit®

Daylight for Revit is designed to help you guide you throughout the daylight design process of your proposed development from Early design façade tests to detailed Spatial Daylight Autonomy calculations all within the Revit environment.

The plug-in fully meets the relevant daylight and sunlight regulations and requirements, including the Building Research Establishment (BRE) guide ‘Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight – A guide to good practice’ as well as fellow regulations BREEAM, LEED, WELL, EFA and EN 17037.

Our Daylight for Revit software can run calculations using the graphics card. This significantly decreases the amount of time it takes to run calculations, especially computer intensive calculations such as Spatial Daylight Autonomy. 

As well as allowing speedy calculations, using the graphics card we have created our own live rendering dialogue where you can check groups and layers, carry out live calculations and create clean images amongst other things.

Most calculations can be exported as an Excel file tabulating and summarising the results. Waldram Diagrams for tests such as VSC, APSH and SE provide the user with visual outputs. Room calculations typically produce contour images demonstrating the distribution of light which can be presented within Revit.
