Model-based Solar Irradiation Study

•Model-Based Solar Irradiation Study determines precise solar gain through each individual opening in the building envelope

•Graphical Solar Analysis feedback for each opening

•Solar analysis also considers shading effects of building environment (e.g. adjacent objects, other buildings)

•ArchiCAD plant objects act as intelligent shading devices: their shading capacity is scheduled for the reference year, making it possible to factor in whether the plants used for shading are coniferous or deciduous
