Naviate Daylight is a Revit plugin that automates daylight area ratio checking of your BIM model. As a result optimal design decisions can be made regarding floor areas, glazing, glass area, windows, lighting, comfort, brightness, darkness – better working and living spaces are produced. It is especially relevant to architectural designers and building engineers but also useful to all the design team.
Reports in local language and instant colouring of your BIM Model according to local requirements.
Direct connection to local rulesets for daylight factors; ensuring that you always are up to date with existing regulations.
Naviate Daylight works directly on your design model and updates when you update your design.
About
Customised for architects
The Daylight plug-in automates daylight requirements checking (simplified method) based on Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch and other local standards. Set the required minimum Windows-to-Floor Area Ratio of each room and the plug-in checks automatically whether the room meets your given requirements. The Naviate Daylight plug-in gives a quick overview how much daylight each room has, given by the glass areas in all curtain walls and windows from each room. The plug-in uses the floor area of all defined rooms in the model, in order to define floor areas needed to calculate daylight area rate, and in order to get the room bounded surrounding walls, windows, and panes.
