Daylighting Software Development

In addition to developing and maintaining the award-winning Sensor Placement + Optimization Tool (SPOT Pro), we provide custom daylighting software development services for the industry. We can create custom modeling and simulation algorithms, front-end interfaces for stand-alone applications or tools that are part of a whole building modeling software such as OpenStudio and Energy Plus.

  • SPOT Pro

    The Sensor Placement + Optimization Tool has been under continuous development since its first beta release in 2004. See the SPOT page for more information and to download a trial.

  • Optical Daylight Delivery Simulation Tools

    Using forward ray-tracing techniques, we’ve developed methods for validating optical daylighting systems and accurately simulating them in Radiance-based software.

  • Annual Solar Mapping Tools

    Using innovative techniques, we develop methods for fast and accurate annual daylighting and solar mapping analysis.

  • Open Studio / Floorspace to Radiance Converters

    Tools to automate the creation of Radiance models from other modeling formats, such as Open Studio - great way to verify the reality of the geometry you are modeling.
