Daylight Simulation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Daylight Simulation

Daylight Simulation is a computational method for predicting the availability and distribution of daylight in interior spaces and assessing visual comfort under varying sky conditions. Developed by researchers like Christoph Reinhart and John Mardaljevic in the 2000s, it has become central to designing healthy, energy-efficient buildings that maximize natural light while controlling glare.
