Will Whiteneck, LightStanza’s Director of Technology, and Dan Glaser, PhD, Principal of LightStanza, presented on Approaches to Calculating Annual Sunlight Exposure in LightStanza at the 16th Annual International Radiance Workshop in Portland, Oregon. 

Will spoke on the intricacies of the different ways to produce an accurate ASE score, comparing methods like rtrace, 3-phase, 5-phase, and a novel “geometric” technique that significantly improves processing speed while achieving the same level of accuracy when compared to the other techniques.
