Radiance Interface
Provides an interface to Radiance which can accurately simulate the visible radiation in a space. Radiance is a powerful lighting simulation program that synthesises images from the 3D geometric model of the building. Radiance/4D+ is available for both daylight and electrical lighting simulation and provides photo-realistic images of the illuminated model. The simulation results can be displayed as photo-realistic images; lux values at user selected positions in the simulation 'frame', lux and daylight factors contours; glare factors and comfort indices.
