How it Works

To use LightStanza, just upload your 3D model to the cloud-based application, iterate with different materials, blinds operations, sky types, and other properties, and then rapidly simulate content! This simple process allows users to generate and share LEED v4 scorecards, annual metrics, point-in-time renderings and illuminance grids, and much more!

Begin by uploading your 3D model to the LightStanza interface.

Apply different materials like glass, opaque, translucent, and even daylight products to your model. These materials are completely customizable with basic view for architects and advanced Radiance view for experts who want complete control of simulation parameters.

Iterate with more design options like your model's location and north angle. Changing north angle is helpful when testing similar spaces like offices or classrooms that span across different facades.

Even apply different blinds to the window groups that LightStanza automatically identifies for you (outlined in white above)! Identifying window groups is required for a compliant LEED v4 Spatial Daylight Autonomy score.

Generate results like illuminance grids at single points in time or over the entire year.

Generate renderings that are great for looking at different materials' glare mitigation ability. The image on the left above shows a 100% daylight glare probability score when using clear glass on the windows. On the right, dynamic glass brings that score down to 52%!

And experiment with different lens types to really determine what the human eye will see.

With the click of a button, generate a detailed USGBC-approved LEED v4 Daylight Credit Report with both Options 1 and 2 to choose from.

Continue to iterate with different designs and results, tracking your activity on the activity bar!
