    “The latest innovation in the pursuit of an improved human experience is electrochromic glass. Only LightStanza makes it possible to accurately simulate the effect of dozens of products on a design.”

    - Stuart Shell, Forte Building Science, Omaha NE




    "That SketchUp models are used for LightStanza meant that we could save lots of time by using the models that we'd already constructed for design purpose, instead of having to completely recreate our projects from scratch in [the other PC-based software]. This also meant that we no longer had to switch to Windows and back again to assemble the graphics generated from our analysis."

    - Alan Cheung, Local Practice Architecture and Design, Vancouver, BC




    "LightStanza is cloud-based so immediately solves the problem of bogging down our internal machines, so we can launch simulations and continue to work simultaneously. Additionally, the user-interface is much more intuitive and user-friendly for architects."

    - Leslie Lavin, Boulder Associates Architects, Boulder, CO
