Daylighting Simulation
Used to setup the daylighting simulation, review results, and view renderings of the simulated daylighting for the selected rooms.

The daylight tool uses the Radiance simulation engine to model and translate scene geometry, luminaire data and material properties, all of which are needed as input to the simulation. The lighting simulation itself uses ray tracing techniques to compute radiance values (ie. the quantity of light passing through a specific point in a specific direction), which are typically arranged to form a photographic quality image. The resulting image may be analyzed, displayed and manipulated within the package, and converted to other popular image file formats for export to other packages, facilitating the production of hard copy output.
