(past projects)

Ask Spot to find the opportunities to use or avoid direct day lighting over a period of time. A project's daylighting performance is strongly influenced by the general volume created at the beginning of the design process. Thanks to recent research, quick 3d models can be generated from early sketches. These models can then be analyzed over a period of time to quickly identify daylighting opportunities.
