SHADE ANALYZER

Unlike traditional tools that test preconceived designs, the Shade Analyzer allows designers to parametrically explore any potential exterior shading device in real time. Teams can understand the unique solar condition of any façade orientation and develop a right-sized, effective exterior shading device or overhang in minutes. This tool has proven most successful as an educational tool. Any time one of our daylighting experts finds themselves in a conversation about façade performance this tool can be spun up to explain the unique solar condition and what can be done to mitigate any potential issues. This enables performance analysis to be available whenever decisions are being made.
