We have a specialist team experienced in carrying out daylighting assessments. These assessments are undertaken in support of planning applications for new build projects or extensions which could impact on adjacent developments.
The Daylighting Team are also involved in projects to maximise the daylighting in buildings and we are experienced in conducting climate-based daylight modelling assessments.
Most new urban developments require a daylight and sunlight impact assessment for submission to the local planning authority. These assessments ensure that new buildings do not significantly reduce daylight or sunlight for neighbouring properties, gardens, or public spaces.
Our daylight analysis includes:
We use advanced 3D daylight modelling software to create accurate models of the proposed development and surrounding areas. This allows us to calculate Vertical Sky Component (VSC) values before and after construction.
