Daylighting openings and daylighting solutions can hardly be changed once construction has been completed – or only at a very high cost.
Simulation and analysis in the artificial sky provide the perfect means to base such important decisions prior to realisation.
In our own workshops we build models containing the appropriate materials and surface finishes as well as the intended effect of daylighting systems. Such mock-ups are constructed using lighting effects and materials as close to the real thing as possible and often we provide several options of lighting solutions and room finishes with in one model.
Thus the interiors simulated in such scale mock-ups can be viewed three-dimensionally under real conditions such as type of light, brightness and with real surface characteristics. This method is far superior to any digital simulation currently available.
